Imagine an inspector conducting an NDE on an aircraft where you notice
something is different about him – he is not real but rather he is a
robot. Your first reaction would probably be to say “it’s unbelievable
but he looks real” just as you would react to an artificial flower that
is a good imitation. This science fiction scenario could become a
reality at the trend in the development of biologically inspired
technologies, and terms like artificial intelligence, artificial
muscles, artificial vision and numerous others are increasingly
becoming common engineering tools. For many years, the trend has been
to automate processes in order to increase the efficiency of performing
redundant tasks where various systems have been developed to deal with
specific production line requirements. Realizing that some parts are
too complex or delicate to handle in small quantities with a simple
automatic system, robotic mechanisms were developed. Aircraft
inspection has benefited from this evolving technology where
manipulators and crawlers are developed for rapid and reliable
inspection. Advancement in robotics towards making them autonomous and
possibly look like human, can potentially address the need to inspect
structures that are beyond the capability of today’s technology with
configuration that are not predetermined. The operation of these robots
may take place at harsh or hazardous environments that are too
dangerous for human presence. Making such robots is becoming
increasingly feasible and in this paper the state of the art will be
reviewed.
