Bridge inspections have a large variety of procedures to ensure the safety of its facilities and personnel, and at the same time tightly budget constraints. These procedures involve extensive inspections, most of which should be performed at height and using both cameras and other sensors that require to be in contact with the surfaces being inspected. Then, bridge inspections traditionally require access to specific inspection points using man-lifts, cranes, scaffolds, or rope-access techniques, which increments importantly the costs of these inspections.

    This work will present a system formed by two drones that will perform complete inspection operations in bridges in less time, reducing costs, improving quality of the inspection, and increasing safety of operators. The first one is an aerial robot that can obtain pictures of the overall bridge fully autonomously thanks to a GPS-free navigation system. The second one is the AeroX drone platform, a novel solution for inspection of difficult access areas. The AeroX can perform contact inspection due to its robotic contact device, which is equipped with an end-effector. Finally, both drones will be presented with videos of the validation experiments.
