Abstract
The robotization of the non-destructive inspection of aircraft is essential for improving the accuracy and duration of performed inspections, being an integral part of inspection and data management systems within the currently developed NDT 4.0 concept. In this paper, the authors presented the design and testing of a universal mobile platform with interchangeable sensing systems for the non-destructive inspection of aircraft structures with various angles of inclination. As a result of the performed studies, a low-cost approach of automation of existing measurement devices used for inspection was proposed. The constructed prototype of the mobile platform was equipped with eddy current testing probe and successfully passed both laboratory and environmental tests, demonstrating its performance in various conditions. The presented approach confirms the effectiveness of the automation of the inspection process using climbing robots and defining the directions of possible development of automation in non-destructive testing in aviation.
