Description
This project aims to develop and build a mobile test facility, hereafter referred to as Bridge Inspection Robot Deployment Systems (BIRDS), for the field tests of real-world bridges. The BIRDS is equipped with climbing robots, unmanned aerial vehicles, multimodal vehicles, sensors, nondestructive evaluation devices, data acquisition units, batteries, and miscellaneous tools to support field tests. It serves as a field station for data collection and transmission to the base station at the INSPIRE University Transportation Center, and a means of transportation for a crew of two or three inspectors.
