Major public infrastructures around the world such as dams, cooling towers, and bridges use cement as their primary building material. Although they are made of durable materials, over time many of these infrastructures need to be inspected at regular intervals to ensure their integrity. The way checks are carried out requires the creation of scaffolding, which must be constantly moved by personnel to check the entire surface of each infrastructure. The aim of the VORTEXSCAN project is to create a robot that will autonomously navigate the surface of these infrastructures, while developing a combination of non-destructive control techniques. Suction air through a nozzle of a certain geometry will create a vortex and introduce a force, which will ensure that the robot stays on the vertical surfaces while its wheels are in motion. The project aims to create a system that will be able to quickly and economically control large vertical areas of infrastructure, saving large amounts of money currently spent during periodic inspections.
