The AEROBI final pilot demonstration took place on two bridges of Egnatia Motorway on 10th October 2018 in Thessaloniki, Greece (the Strymonas and T6 bridges). The integration and experimentation were done on Strymonas bridge since it is an old bridge and has a lot of various defects. The demonstration of Aerial Robotic System for the end users' workshop was done on T6 Bridge. The main focus of the final pilot demonstration event was to integrate, experiment, demonstrate two different platforms which cover the most important end-user requirements.
During the integration and experimentation of the bridges two types of UAVs were tested:
- TYPE 1: Visual inspection on complete bridge
- TYPE 3: Precise position to measure deflections of the beams
During the demonstration of the Aerial Robotic System, Egnatia Odos presented inspection and assessment of motorway bridges in Greece, techniques used and AEROBI perspectives. AEROBI team demonstrated beam deflection measurement and bridge visual scan, which includes the presentation of the aerial platform and its capabilities. Finally, end users had the opportunity to have a lively discussion between themselves and AEROBI project partners.
After the demonstration of the two aerial robotic platforms, the Workshop was organised to present the main results of the two days of integration and experimentation of Strymonas bridge. During the Workshop, end users had a possibility to discuss on:
- Design and development of AEROBI Robots
- AEROBI Computer Vision System
- Development of Sensing System
- Structural Condition Assessment
- System Integration
- Field demonstration at Strymonas bridge videos and results
