Smarsly, KayKaySmarslyDragos, KosmasKosmasDragos2023-11-162023-11-162024-01Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems 4: 138-140 (2024)https://hdl.handle.net/11420/44168Modern civil engineering structures, instrumented with Internet-of-Things-enabled smart sensors and actuators, are considered cyber-physical systems that integrate physical processes with computational and communication elements. This short communication aims to portray a milestone in the field of monitoring and inspection of civil infrastructure, collaboratively conducted by autonomous, robotic devices orchestrated in robotic fleets. It is expected that robot-based civil infrastructure assessment will revolutionize structural maintenance of the deteriorating building stock, which is increasingly exacerbated by the effects of climate change and develops into a major societal challenge.en2667-34522024138140KeAi Communications Co.
