dc.description.abstractRobots and automation techniques are used in many industries for a long period because of the economic advantages and efficiency. Though the railway has a long history compared to other transportation systems, it still lacks wide application of modern technologies such as robots and AI. Track maintenance using robotic technologies has gained some attraction from both infrastructure managers and researchers due to safety and cost benefits. A Railway Inspection and Repair System (RIRS) has been proposed using commercially available Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) and an industrial manipulator for the railway track inspection and repair tasks. The use of a specially designed trolley enables the on-track and off-track navigation capability of RIRS. The infrastructure in railway is very diversified and unique in size, shape, and remoteness compared to other industries. This research investigates the unique challenges to the operation of RIRS imposed by the railway infrastructure.en_UK
