  • Abstract
    In partnership with Automation Machine Design RC Inc. (AMD), Hydro-Québec developed a new robotic laser scanning system for the inspection of large underwater hydroelectric structures. The inspections are performed with a laser scanner that generates dense 3D maps globally localized. The diagnosis system went through several field trials in different facilities as it was being developed.
