Gao Yi, Ndt Lab · Nondestructive Testing · 2011
Multi-function artificial intelligence crawler(MAIC-1) was developed in order to inspect the welding of block construction of hull.The TOFD inspection procedure for the welding was introduced,and the architecture of MAIC-1 was designed according to the procedure.Modular machine,electronics and software development were researched.The performance of MAIC-1 was tested on a steel frame,and the crawler was applied in butt welding of plates.The obtained results obtained showed that MAIC-1 with characters of using convenience,high efficient and testing stable could accomplish TOFD inspection for the welding of block construction of hull without scaffold.
