A review of non-destructive testing using robot

With the wide application of new materials, new structures, and new technology in modern industry especially in the aerospace industry, the range of non-destructive testing has not been limited on normal materials or normal shapes, the test of complex components will bring new chance and challenge to non-destructive testing. The combination of manipulator, robotic machine, which is widely used in industry, and non-destructive test can replace human to realize precise test on complex component, and it can get more efficiency and more security. The article reviews single manipulator gripping transducer, single manipulator gripping work piece and manipulator radiographic test respectively according to different test way, and the range of application to different test way is analyzed.
