Abstract
Robotic systems for ultrasonic surface inspection using shaped elements are described. An example system may have an inspection robot structured to move in a direction of travel on an inspection surface. The inspection robot may include: a payload having a first ultrasonic (UT) phased array and a second UT phased array, a rastering device operatively coupled to the payload, and structured to execute reciprocating motion of the payload, and a means for inspecting a weld affected region of the inspection surface on three (3) axes of inspection.
