Abstract :
In this paper, a mobile probe for eddy current testing using inductive sensors and two optical computer mice for position determination is presented. It is a first step in developing an autonomous system that is able to detect flaws in the metallic structure of an aircraft. We present the system implemented and show results of its use to detect a rectangular flaw in a flat aluminum plate.
