Watch a video illustrating the concept of the cutting-edge technology developed in the AIRTuB-ROMI research project.

The project develops monitoring solutions based on sensors embedded into the blade of the windmill. This enables an innovative drone-crawler inspection platform to prioritize inspections, where  major findings will be classified before they lead to failures.

Te drone-crawler platform is equipped with sensors with the purpose of inspecting the structural health of the blades, including post-lightning strike inspections for cracks and delamination. The inspections will encompass a combination of ultrasonic and visual methods, ensuring comprehensive assessments of blade conditions.

The resident drone-crawler platform is designed to operate within the wind farm without requiring on-site crew. This platform will offer automated charging and flight capabilities, enhancing inspection efficiency.
