Abstract:The use of remotely piloted aircrafts (RPAs) for industrial inspection has grown a lot thanks to the latest developments in the related technologies and in embedded systems. In the oil and gas industry, RPAs can be of great value for the inspection of different types of structures and components. Among these are the flexible risers, pipes that perform an important role in offshore oil and gas exploration. The present work describes the development of a ROS/Gazebo simulation environment for 3D optical inspectio… Show more
