Inspection & maintenance

Start with observation. Establish the conditions before considering physical interaction.

Proposed approach

Observe a surface, review the context, then assess whether an appropriate task module could support the work.

Adaptive Grasping · Overall design concept

Adaptive Grasping

An interchangeable tool for exploring aerial interaction with irregular objects.

Operating considerations

Clearances, contact loads, recovery paths and operating procedures require validation for each task.

A second view can be the next useful action

An image may identify a place to revisit without establishing its condition. The hidden side of a fixing, the surrounding support or an uncertain scale can change the interpretation. A useful inspection workflow should make that information gap explicit before proposing contact or maintenance.

Provide the observation target, access limits and the decision your current process needs to make. Those help define a representative test and the evidence required. For an initial trial, the outcome may simply be a better documented observation rather than a physical intervention.
