Robots, Drones, UAVs and UGVs for Operation and Maintenance

The aim of the book is to give comprehensive understanding about the use of autonomous vehicles (robotics) for the utilization of inspections and maintenance activities in industrial asset management. The usability of deploying inspection vehicles in an autonomous manner is explained with the emphasis on integrating the total process.

Industrial assets (such as railway lines, roads, pipelines) are usually huge, span long distances, and can be divided into clusters or segments that provide different levels of functionality subject to different loads, degradations and environmental conditions, and their efficient management is necessary. The aim of the book is to give comprehensive understanding about the use of autonomous vehicles (context of robotics) for the utilization of inspection and maintenance activities in industrial asset management in different accessibility and hazard levels. The usability of deploying inspection vehicles in an autonomous manner is explained with the emphasis on integrating the total process.
