Pittsburgh Business Journal CMU robotics researchers develop flying robots to make images, find weaknesses in large structures Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute are developing small, self-guided flying robots that use 3-D imaging technology to help engineers pinpoint and assess structural damage and other weaknesses in large structures, such as bridges and dams. A prototype version of the Aerial Robotic Infrastructure Analyst, or ARIA, has already successfully mapped a small bridge, […]
