GE Aerospace has unveiled a remarkable — and remarkably squishy — robot called Sensiworm that’s set to enhance aircraft safety.
Recommended Videos A video released by the company on Thursday shows the Sensiworm doing its thing, crawling through an engine’s gaps and curves in search of cracks and corrosion while all the time sending back live video to its human operators. “With mini-robot companions like Sensiworm, service operators would have multiple additional sets of eyes and ears to perform on-wing inspections,” said Deepak Trivedi, principal robotics engineer at GE Aerospace Research. “With their soft, compliant design, they could inspect every inch of a jet engine, transmitting live video and real-time data about the condition of parts that operators typically check.
The Sensiworm has been made possible through various funding and development partnerships involving SEMI Flex Tech, the US Army Research Lab, Binghamton University in New York, and UES, Inc., an Ohio-based R&D organization.
