Abstract

This study proposes aerial robots utilizing repair operations at height for wind turbines. It is aimed to decrease the risks for human health for a repair operation in risky environments. We address the wind turbine repair problem by proposing a new aerial manipulator that can leverage online detection and decision making. Our proposed system can help to reduce the time and costs for infrastructure maintenance when autonomous aerial robots are deployed intelligently.
