Implementation of a new method for robotic repair operations on composite structures

Composite materials nowadays are used in a wide range of applications in aerospace, marine, automotive, surface transport and sports equipment markets. For example, all aircraft’s composite parts have the potential to incur damage and therefore require repairs. These shocks can impact the mechanical behavior of the structure in a different ways: adversely, irretrievable and, in some cases, in a scalable damage. It is therefore essential to intervene quickly on these parts to make the appropriate repairs without immobilizing the aircraft for too long.
