The City College of New York (CCNY) of the City University of New York system (CUNY), in partnership with lnnovBot LLC, proposes to design and fabricate five Wind-Rider robots and distribute them to stakeholders (wind blade manufacturers, blade testing facilities, wind-farms, etc.) to evaluate their performance for six months. Feedback will be collected to improve WindRider as a more mature product for providing visual & contact-based inspection of utility scale wind blades to benefit wind energy industry by means of improving quality control of blade manufacturing processes and in-service inspection of wind blades that will reduce O&M costs.
