ABSTRACT

A sled assembly for an inspection robot includes a first portion having a
first sensor mount at a first horizontal position, and a second offset portion
having a second sensor mount at a second horizontal position. The first
horizontal position and the second horizontal position are horizontally
displaced by a selected horizontal distance. The first portion includes a
first plurality of sensor mounts, and the first plurality of sensor mounts
include the first sensor mount. Also, the first plurality of sensor mounts
include a first horizontal distribution profile providing a horizontal
displacement between adjacent ones of the first plurality of sensor mounts
that is not greater than a selected inspection resolution.
