When utilizing Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) for bridge inspections, aircraft are primarily deployed for contactless data collection. Yet, a glaring gap persists: very few UAS can test the deficiencies they identify. This oversight often results in inspectors to yet again be exposed to dangerous environments.
Enter the Voliro T UAS
Thanks to its unique design, the Voliro T enables inspectors to conduct close-proximity tests eliminating the need for additional hands on inspection. Unlike most industrial UAS, this system is capable of carrying various payloads, including probes, thickness gauges, ultrasonic transducers, and impact eco systems. The tilt rotors and distinctive omnidirectional design, illustrated in Figure 1 allow this aircraft to balance itself when testing difficult to access structures.
