  • Patent number: 11619597
    Abstract: A system for non-destructive evaluation of an object uses a spherical coordinate system to control two robotic arms. In some examples, the system includes a radiation source coupled to one robotic arm, a radiation detector coupled to the other robotic arm; and a control unit configured to determine, based on input, a first position located on a first surface of a first sphere within the spherical coordinate system; determine, based on the input, a second position located on a second surface of a second sphere within the spherical coordinate system, wherein the second position is located opposite a midpoint of the spherical coordinate system from the first position; and control a motion of the source robotic arm and the detector robotic arm such that the radiation source and the radiation detector move to different ones of the first position and the second position.

  • Patent number: 11559264
    Abstract: An example scanner positioning control system includes: a display; a processor; and a computer readable storage medium comprising computer readable instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to: output, via the display, a first visual representation of an arrangement of a radiation source, a radiation detector, and a workpiece positioner; identify a change to be made to the arrangement of at least one of the radiation source, the radiation detector, or the workpiece positioner; output, via the display, a second visual representation of the arrangement of the radiation source, the radiation detector, and the workpiece positioner based on the change to be made to the arrangement; and control a scanner positioning system to physically move the at least one of the radiation source, the radiation detector, and the workpiece positioner based on the change.

  • Publication number: 20230003671
    Abstract: An example scan procedure generation system includes: a display; a processor; and a computer readable storage medium comprising computer readable instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to: output, via the display, a first visual representation of an arrangement of a radiation source, a radiation detector, a workpiece positioner, and a workpiece; and based on positions and orientations of the radiation source, the radiation detector, the workpiece positioner, and the workpiece, generate a scanning procedure for execution by a physical scanner having a physical radiation source, a physical radiation detector, and a physical workpiece positioner, wherein the generated scanning procedure comprises a plurality of movements of one or more of the physical radiation source, the physical radiation detector, and the physical workpiece positioner and a plurality of image captures to capture a plurality of scan images of a physical workpiece corresponding to the workpiece in the first virtual representati
