Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A robotic controller for autonomous calibration and inspection of two or more solar surfaces wherein the robotic controller includes a drive system to position itself near a solar surface such that onboard sensors may be utilized to gather information about the solar surface. An onboard communication unit relays information to a central processing network, this processor combines new information with stored historical data to calibrate a solar surface and/or to determine its instantaneous health.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A robot comprising: a flight system and a flight control system configured to maneuver the robot over ground-based obstacles and position the robot at a calibration station corresponding to a support structure having an adjustable surface; a sensor configured to identify status information for the adjustable surface when the robot is positioned at the calibration station, the status information for the adjustable surface including an orientation of the adj…
