Publication number: 20240121363Abstract: An example implementation includes a device that includes a base infrastructure inspection unit and a plurality of modular sensor units attached to the base infrastructure inspection unit. The base infrastructure inspection unit includes a set of one or more processors and a memory device having code executable by the one or more processors. The executable code synchronizes the plurality of sensor units, captures two or more data streams of infrastructure inspection data, combines the data with metadata indicating synchronization between respective ones of the plurality of sensor units, and provides combined metadata and infrastructure inspection data for inclusion in a photorealistic image based on a three-dimensional (3D) model of the infrastructure.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: RedZone Robotics, Inc.Inventors: Jianan Lin, Brandon McGannon, Charles Hart, Jason Mizgorski

Patent number: 11719853Abstract: One aspect provides a method, including: obtaining sensor data from a ground penetrating radar (GPR) unit; analyzing, using a processor, the sensor data to detect a first object and a second object, the second object being associated with the first object based on location; identifying, with the processor, an underground pipe feature based on the analyzing; associating a position of the underground pipe feature with a location in a pipe network; selecting a subset of the pipe network including a pipe segment associated with the position of the underground pipe feature; and providing the subset of the pipe network as displayable data to a display device. Other aspects are described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2021Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: RedZone Robotics, Inc.Inventors: Justin Starr, Galin Konakchiev, Foster J Salotti, Mark Jordan, Nate Alford, Thorin Tobiassen, Todd Kueny, Jason Mizgorski

Publication number: 20230123736Abstract: In one example, a method includes combining multi-sensor inspection (MIS) data from sensors of inspection platform(s); using respective metadata to select one or more tools for translating the MSI data into a common file format; applying the one or more tools to the first and second MSI data to obtain respective common data formatted files; and providing, via a cloud computing device, access to the common data formatted files. Other implementations may be described and claimed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Applicant: RedZone Robotics, Inc.Inventors: Tim Renton, Foster J Salotti, Jason Mizgorski, Anthony van Iersel, Cody Steliga, Bill Derkson, Lynn Palmieri, Dimitrije Balanovic

Publication number: 20220028054Abstract: One aspect provides a modular inspection robot for inspecting vertical shafts, chambers or tunnels. An embodiment provides related methods and products. One method includes: capturing, using a plurality of video cameras associated with an infrastructure inspection unit, two or more videos of infrastructure; accessing, using one or more processors, image metadata indicating a mesh of connected vertices based on the two or more videos; selecting, using the one or more processors, image data of frames of the two or more videos for inclusion in an output based on the mesh; and outputting, using the one or more processors, a photo-realistic image of the infrastructure comprising the image data selected. Other examples are described and claimed.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2021Publication date: January 27, 2022Applicant: RedZone Robotics, IncInventors: Andrew Harmen, Gabe Detter, Mohamed Morsy, Andrew Lawniczak, Galin Konalchiev, Matthew Crowell, Jack Buffington, Mohsen Pashna, Richard Rigby, Jason Mizgorski, Foster J.
