PILOTs for robotic INspection and maintenance Grounded on advanced intelligent platforms and prototype applications

Old Europe needs a new high-tech approach to renew its aging infrastructure – bridges and tunnels, as well as dozens of oil refineries. Concerns about infrastructure safety in Europe are growing. New solutions are being explored to develop low-cost yet large-scale systems that can assist with infrastructure maintenance. The EU-funded PILOTING project is proposing a robotic inspection solution. More specifically, it will develop an integrated platform demonstrating the application of robotics at scale in the domain of inspection and maintenance. The project will conduct three pilots in different sectors: oil and gas refineries, bridges and tunnels. The goal is to minimise the costs, risks, and disruptions associated with structural inspections and maintenance.
