For this, advanced technologies of robotics and AI can offer significant advantages. Fast-emerging developments in this sector require a timely and systematic review and technical guide for researchers and practitioners. As such, this book is intended to comprehensively introduce and thoroughly provide an overview of the methods used in the development of robotic and AI-powered systems for inspection and potential defect identification of bridges (while maintaining their serviceability under inspection).
- Includes practical and theoretical analysis, using real-world examples
- Detailed investigation of the new area of AI-based, vison-based, and sensor-based detection of defects
- Covers sub-surface, surface, and non-destructive evaluation of bridge conditions
- Sensor-rich, single-robot and multi-robot systems are included, together with collaborative homo- and heterogeneous robots
Scientists and Researchers, Engineers, Practitioners and Professionals in Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering, Automation, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, Data and Systems Engineering
