AIRobots: Innovative aerial service robots for remote inspection by contact

This video presents experiments conducted within the final review meeting demonstration session of the AIRobots project. AIRobots started at 2010 and the final review meeting took place on 22 of March, 2013. The presented experiments cover a wide area of the challenges related with aerial industrial inspection. In particular, multiple test-cases related with both vision-based and contact-based inspection and in general physical interaction are shown. It is highlighted that these experiments were recorded live during the project demonstration and evaluation process.
