The RAPID drones are embedded with algorithms. In this video, Gerard Dooly, from the Center of Robotics and Intelligent Systems at the University of Limerick, explains their role in the RAPID project and how using off-the-shelf drones allows to keep costs down while the custom algorithm ensures the objective is achieved.
About RAPID Project
The EU-funded RAPID project will combine and extend drone technology to deliver a fully automated and safety-assured maintenance inspection service for bridges, ship hull surveys, and more. Specifically, the service will combine self-sailing unmanned surface vehicles with autonomous unmanned aerial systems. The aim is to reduce the time and cost of structural condition monitoring of maritime transport infrastructures such as material-handling equipment, cargo and passenger ships, and bridges. RAPID’s new system will also facilitate the prioritisation of safer transport infrastructure.
