Routine in-situ inspections on aero gas turbines are crucial for high levels of aero engine safety. These inspections are currently limited in the possible data that can be captured, time and money are spent removing aircraft engines to perform maintenance and overhaul. The ability to perform detailed in-situ inspections and repairs without the need for removal or dismantling, would be extremely economical in terms of time and money. The main long-term vision of this technology is to have continuum snake-like robots with the ability to enter gas turbine engines and perform in-situ repairs that would be otherwise impossible to perform for a human engineer without removal or dismantling.The project will include the Design, Modelling and Control of Soft Actuator Technology for use in Continuum Robot.

航空燃气涡轮机的常规现场检查对于高水平的航空发动机安全至关重要。目前，这些检查仅限于可能捕获的数据，并且需要花费时间和金钱来拆卸飞机发动机以进行维护和大修。在不需要拆除或拆除的情况下进行详细的现场检查和修理的能力在时间和金钱方面都是极其经济的。该技术的主要长期愿景是使连续体蛇形机器人能够进入燃气涡轮机发动机并进行现场维修，否则人类工程师不可能在不拆卸或拆卸的情况下进行维修。该项目将包括用于连续体机器人的软执行器技术的设计、建模和控制。
