Title: AI and UAS Technologies for Infrastructure Inspection and Reconstruction
Speaker: Prof. Ben M. Chen (Chinese University of Hong Kong, China)
Time: April 18, 10:40-12:00
Venue: Conference room, 6th Floor, Building 3, Guangzhou Wushan Campus
[Abstract]
In this talk, we aim to present the recent development of some unconventional unmanned systems and a fully autonomous infrastructure inspection and information management system with advanced AI and UAS technologies. The autonomous inspection system includes sophisticated unmanned hardware platforms and software systems for automatic flight control, task and motion planning, and AI techniques for RGB image and infrared data processing for defect detections. Topics on building information modeling (BIM) and management system integrated with detailed geographical information systems (GIS) and digital twin (DT) technologies will also be highlighted. Compared with the manual inspection, the autonomous inspection system that we have developed has the advantages of being more economical, safer, flexible and efficient. It can also be adopted for other industrial applications, including smart ocean and smart cities.
