ABSTRACT

A method for inspecting an inspection surface using an inspection robot
includes inspecting the inspection surface with a first sled assembly, the
first sled assembly including a first forward sensor mount group and a second
rearward sensor mount group. The method also includes inspecting the
inspection surface with a second sled assembly, the second sled assembly
including a third forward sensor mount group and a fourth rearward sensor
mount group, and interpreting a first calibration value for a plurality of
sensors of the first forward sensor mount group and a plurality of sensors of
the third forward sensor mount group. Furthermore, the method includes
performing inspection operations based on the first calibration value and
capturing inspection data based on the inspection operations.
