Drain Structural Defect Detection and Mapping Using AI-Enabled Reconfigurable Robot Raptor and IoRT Framework
Human visual inspection of drains is laborious, time-consuming, and prone to accidents. This work presents an AI-enabled robot-assisted remote drain inspection and mapping framework using our in-house developed reconfigurable robot Raptor. The four-layer IoRT serves as a bridge between the users and...
