Robotics for I&M can play a significant role in keeping the transport infrastructure operational
Transport infrastructure is a critical ingredient in economic development. Transport infrastructure consists of different assets, such as roads, railways, bridges and tunnels, many of them heavily operated and with difficult access. Keeping the infrastructure safe and operational is key to society, however, I&M can be costly and dangerous. Some of the assets require special and expensive equipment such as under-bridge cranes, rigging or divers, not to mention that interference should be avoided as much as possible.
Robotics for I&M can play a significant role in keeping the transport infrastructure operational. Robotics can contribute through increased collection of reliable data in remote, inaccessible or hazardous environments in a manner that is safe, efficient and cost-effective.
