Energy Fishing using Moving Wind Turbine System
Offshore wind turbines are typically fixed devices anchored to the seabed by a foundation. The advantages of a floating offshore system (economic, reusable, deeper water depths) as compared to fixed structures have resulted in increased interest in floating technologies. The major type of floating wind systems in use today are semisubmersible and concrete...

Combinatorial damage detection using UAVs and CT scan robots
Bridge inspections are normally conducted visually (e.g., naked eye) in conjunction with instrumentation. These techniques are limited in scope in that certain areas of the structure are inaccessible, place workers at risk when attempting to reach these hard to access areas, and may require bridges to be shut down during inspections causing commuter...
