Abstract: Systems and methods for robotic inspection with simultaneous surface measurements at multiple orientations with obstacle avoidance are described. An example system may have an inspection robot structured to move in a direction of travel along an inspection surface. The robot may have a payload with first and second sensor holders, each sensor holder structured to hold a UT phased array. A sensor holder linking component holds the first and sensor holders such that the two phased arrays are parallel to one another along a long edge of both the phased arrays. The system may have a rastering device to move the payloads in a direction of inspection, whether the direction of inspection is distinct from the direction of travel and distinct from the parallel orientation of the two phased arrays.
