NEABOTICS

NEABOTICS has completed the field test of its innovative stabilized 3D camera with 10x optical zoom and controlled divergence that allows a remote 3D immersive inspection with a detection accuracy of up to 1 mm at 5 m away. This innovative solution allows the operator to use a VR headset to control the pan-tilt and zoom of the camera to visualize both the general status of the equipment and infrastructure, as well as small defects. In addition, the 3D view is maintained during the zoom thanks to the controlled divergence that allows the operator to appreciate not only the size, but also the depth of a defect, such as in the case of rust. The next step will be the development of an ATEX version of this equipment that can be installed on board any commercial drone. #drone #inspection #3d_camera

NEABOTICS is proud to present its prototype NDT drone for ultrasonic measurements in action in a real plant for the first time. The NDT drone features an ultra-lightweight robotic arm with 5 degrees of freedom (DoF) with a 6 DoF force/torque sensor in the wrist, a tool with a UT probe for thickness measurement with a coupling gel dispencer system. Thanks to the possibility of measuring the interaction force and the dexterity conferred by the robotic arm in real time, the NDT drone is able to guarantee high quality measurements, comparable to those carried out by specialized human operators, even in geometrically complex conditions where other drone systems capable of measuring only via orthogonal access fail. #drone #robotics #innovation #ndt_inspection #ut_measurement #utilities

Aerial robots are being used to make ultrasonic concrete testing safer 🏢 Developed by the team at NEABOTICS, their robot consists of a tilting drone, with a sensing tool that can be mounted on the front or on top of the main structure. This tool includes several sensors like Time-Of-Flight sensors and load cells to enable the autonomous interaction with the surface, as well as UT sensors used to perform measurements to determine the quality of the concrete structure. With this specialized drone, the team aim to heavily reduce the need for manual inspections in hazardous environments, such as elevated structures or confined spaces 💡 #drones #robotics #inspection #automation

In October, our team composed of Michele Marolla, Pasquale Campanile and Vincenzo Lippiello was in ATLAS Flight Center, for the final review of the H2020 Aerial-Core (AERIAL COgnitive integrated multi-task Robotic system with Extended operation range and safety) project. Together with 14 other international partners, we performed a live demonstration of our manipulation platform in the Endesa power lines in Villacarrilo (Jaén, Spain). The feedback from the Project Officer and Reviewers was excellent, as the project went beyond expectations in many aspects. In the video, you can see the installation of a recharging station on the power line by an aerial robotic manipulator, designed and developed by NEABOTICS. It is an anthropomorphic robotic arm with 6 degrees of freedom and a spherical wrist, ultra-light (4kg), with a high load capacity (3.5kg) and belt transmission. Tasks such as installation of separators, bird diverters, cleaning of insulators, and more, will now be possible without putting operators lives at risk and with much lower costs. https://lnkd.in/dm5nvgwk #innovation #aerial #robotics #manipulation #h2020

This week we successfully performed on-site experiments featured a custom drone tailored specifically for ultrasonic inspection of concrete surfaces. Thanks to this technology, in the near future it will be possible to enhance safety protocols and heavily reduce the need for manual #inspections in #hazardous environments, such as elevated structures or confined spaces. The robot consists of a tilting drone, with a sensing tool that can be mounted on the front or on top of the main structure. This tool includes several sensors like Time-Of-Flight sensors and load cells to enable the autonomous interaction with the surface, as well as UT sensors used to perform measurements regarding the quality of the concrete structure. The software consists of a customized version of the PX4 Autopilot firmware, running on the Holybro's Pixhawk 6C board. Congratulations to the whole team for the successful work!
