Autonomous drones detect cracks in concrete bridges
A research team at Ruhr University Bochum is developing an autonomous flying drone that detects cracks in concrete bridges. The drone is intended to make costly, labor-intensive bridge inspections more efficient, safer and more affordable. It is being developed by David Müller and Dr. Raphael Dyrska from the Department of Automatic Control and Systems Theory, alongside Patrick Herbers from the Department of Civil Engineering and Dr. Marcel Neuha…
Tiny self-flying drones could make aging bridges safer to inspect
Small autonomous drones could soon help engineers spot cracks inside concrete bridges, reaching narrow and dark spaces that are difficult for people to inspect safely. Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum are developing a flying system that plans its own route and uses artificial intelligence to identify signs of damage. The aim is to support inspectors, […]
Only 23 cm tall: Bochum researchers develop a drone that flies through bridge hollow boxes without GPS and detects cracks in concrete with AI. The article It is only 23 cm tall and searches independently for cracks in bridges first appeared on ingenieur.de - Jobbörse und Nachrichtsportal für Ingenieure.
