Multi-Tour Set Traveling Salesman Problem in Planning Power Transmission Line Inspection

Frantisek Nekovar et al.

Summary: This letter discusses optimal power transmission line inspection using a proposed generalization of the traveling salesman problem for a multi-route one-depot scenario. The solution involves multiple runs to cover given power lines and indicates the number of vehicles able to perform inspections in one run, with the optimal solution achieved through Integer Linear Programming (ILP). Computational demands are addressed by utilizing a combinatorial metaheuristic, which is less demanding and more scalable than the ILP-based approach.

MUSSOL: A Micro-Uas to Survey Ship Cargo hOLds

Francisco Bonnin-Pascual et al.

Summary: This paper explores the use of aerial robots for visual inspections, focusing on vessel cargo holds for safer, cost-efficient, and intensive inspections. Equipped with sensor suite and control software, the multirotor-type platform provides imagery and enhanced functionalities to support the operator during flight. Through the supervised autonomy (SA) paradigm and extensive use of behavior-based high-level control, the system has been evaluated and proven effective for visual inspections in both laboratory and real environments aboard different vessels.
