The application relates to a method (200) for inspecting and repairing a structure and unmanned aerial vehicles. First, an unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with a camera (30) is flown to a position ina vicinity of an area of interest on a surface of a structure (18). Image data representing one or more images of the structure (18) in the area is acquired using the camera (30). Second, an unmannedaerial vehicle equipped with a non-destructive examination (NDE) sensor unit is flown until the NDE sensor unit is within measurement range of the structure (18) in the area of interest. Then NDE sensor data representing structural characteristics of the structure (18) in the area of interest is acquired. Third, an unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with a repair tool is moved to a location that places the repair tool in contact with the surface in the area of interest. Then the structure (18) in the area is repaired using the repair tool. Once the repair has been completed, a UAV equipped witha camera (30) or an NDE sensor unit may be used to determine whether the repaired structure (18) should be placed back in service or not.
本申请涉及检查和维修结构的方法和无人驾驶飞行器。第一,使配备有摄像机的无人驾驶飞行器飞行至结构表面上的感兴趣区域附近的位置。使用摄像机获取表示该区域中的结构的一个或多个图像的图像数据。第二,使配备有无损检验(NDE)传感器单元的无人驾驶飞行器飞行直到NDE传感器单元在该感兴趣区域中的结构的测量范围内。然后获取表示该感兴趣区域中的结构的结构特性的NDE传感器数据。第三,使配备有维修工具的无人驾驶飞行器移动至将维修工具放置为与感兴趣区域中的表面接触的地点。然后使用维修工具维修该区域中的结构。一旦完成了维修,配备有摄像机或NDE传感器单元的UAV可用于确定所维修的结构是否应该被放回服务中。
