ROBO-SPECT is a European 7th Framework project funded under the ICT
programme on Robotics Use Cases (contract No. 611145), implemented by 10
partners from 6 European countries. Driven by the tunnel inspection
industry, its main objective is to adapt and integrate recent research
results in intelligent control in robotics, computer vision tailored
with semisupervised and active continuous learning and sensing, in an
innovative, integrated, robotic system that automatically scans tunnel
intrados for potential defects on the surface and detects and measures
radial deformation in the cross-section, distance between parallel
cracks, cracks and open joints that impact tunnel stability.
