  • SYSTEM, APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR IMPROVED LOCATION IDENTIFICATION
    Publication number: 20250389671
    Abstract: A system for inspecting an inspection surface, the system including an inspection robot and one or more processors. The inspection robot includes: a body; an arm coupled to the body; a payload coupled to the arm; and an inspection surface sensor disposed in the payload for inspecting an inspection surface and structured to generate inspection surface data. The one or more processors are structured to: interpret a position value; interpret the inspection surface data; interpret a feature description corresponding to a feature related to the inspection surface; and generate a high-fidelity region of the inspection surface based at least in part on the position value, the inspection surface data, and the feature description.
