In recent years robotics has become an important resource in engineering. Adoption of Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) in activities related to ship inspections has obvious potential advantages, but also arises particular challenges, both from technical and legal viewpoints. The ROBINS project (ROBotics technology for INspection of Ships)...

Ship surveys are hazardous and expensive tasks as long as they are carried out by human surveyors to a large extent. The adoption of robotic means can enhance safety by replacing some human operations, filling the gap between the current approach and available robotic technologies, even from a regulatory point of view.The ROBINS project...

Si descrive lo sviluppo della testing facility costruita presso i laboratori dell'università di Genova nell'ambito del progetto europeo H2020 Robotic Technologies for the Inspection of Ships (ROBINS)

Inspection is a key aspect of any structural maintenance programme, including that of ship and offshore structures with a long-lasting history of service failures. Ship surveys for construction, verification, repair and conversion are intrinsically hazardous that are mainly performed by human surveyors. The ROBINS project (ROBotics technology...
