This paper presents a new trajectory planning algorithm for 3D autonomous UAV volume coverage and visual inspection. The is an extension of state-of-the-art Heat Equation Driven Area Coverage (HEDAC) multi-agent area domains. With given target exploration density field, the designs potential field directs UAVs to regions higher potential, i.e., values remaining density. Collisions between agent...

The need for highly reliable and precise products has forced industries to study potential uncertainties during designing needed parts. reliability acceptance of the product rely on several factors tolerancing activity plays an important role assure that manufactured meets requirements. importance can be noticed once designers prefer tight tolerances ensure performance in contrast manufacturers...

Background Good drug regulation requires an effective system for monitoring and inspection of manufacturing and sales units. In India, despite widespread agreement on this principle, ongoing shortages of drug inspectors have been identified by national committees since 1975. The growth of India’s pharmaceutical industry and its large export market makes the problem more acute.   Methods The foc...

Bridge inspection standards in the United States require routine visual inspections to be conducted on most bridges at a maximum interval of two years regardless bridge condition. Limitations this uniform calendar-based approach have been reported literature. Accordingly, objective study is provide new systematic for planning that integrates information from condition prediction models, data, a...

The requirement to increase inspection speeds for non-destructive testing (NDT) of composite aerospace parts is common to many manufacturers. The prevalence of complex curved surfaces in the industry provides motivation for the use of 6 axis robots in these inspections. The purpose of this paper is to present work undertaken for the development of a KUKA robot manipulator based automated NDT sy...

this paper presents a new approach which is based on quality control in order to optimize supplier selection. using inspections, removing the defected materials and considering penalties for low quality materials are the main factors which we have considered in modeling. in this model costs are divided to three parts: 1- costs of purchasing 2- costs of inspection policy 3- costs of quality and ...
