Robotic Transverse Profiler
Research topic Design and Manipulation
Industry application Remote Field Inspection

This project is in partnership with ARRB and involves an instrumental robot measuring pavement surface in ALF. It is important to be able to keep track of the deformation of the surface over time to analyse the performance of the pavement, and RTP takes a profile scan to track the deformation of the pavement. Scanning results are repeatable and precise, and provides a high level of data over a 2m stroke length per interval. Operation of RTP is customisable and runs autonomously. The product has been delivered and commissioned without faults since 2016.
