The state-of-the-art automation techniques and the robotics developments for inspection of aircraft are reviewed. The advantages and disadvantages of different systems in terms of cost, ease of usage, required training, and portability are analyzed so that one can make an intelligent decision about selection of the appropriate system for the inspection process. These systems include the gantry system at the Air Logistic Center at the Air Force Base in Sacramento, California, the proposed fork-lift-type system by United Technologies and Lockheed, the Japanese car wash type approach, and other conventional six-degree of freedom robots.
