Short description (English)

Autonomous navigation for robotic inspection using high-precision localisation

Abstract (German)

This project will develop an autonomous navigation system for inspection robots taking advantage of the high-precision localisation system developed by Leica Geosystems. It will be deployed primarily for the inspection of metallic structures with robotic crawlers equipped with magnetic wheels. The project contribution will be the control and path planning for the autonomous platform, the visualisation of the inspection result on a 3D model, as well as the integration of the components into a demonstrator ready to be marketed.
