This Worm-Like Robot Is Designed to Inspect Every Inch of a Jet Engine

Meet Sensiworm, a bio-inspired soft robot resembling an inchworm.

GE Aerospace has introduced the Sensiworm, a bio-inspired soft robot designed to enhance inspection processes within jet engines.

Unlike conventional inspection tools like video borescopes, which face limitations in coverage due to factors like gravity, Sensiworm offers a dynamic solution.

This compliant robot could serve as additional sensory and visual aids for aerospace service operators. It presents the potential for unfettered access during inspections, eliminating the need for engine disassembly.
