On the Future of Robotic Industrial Inspection: Challenges and Opportunities in the Era of Generative AI

Abstract

Recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) methodologies, particularly with the rise of Generative AI (GenAI), have paved the way for a new chapter in the robotics domain. In this short paper, we discuss the benefits of integrating GenAI into the robotics domain. Specifically, we analyze the application of GenAI-powered robotics technologies in industrial inspection, defining the specific needs and proposing an approach that best leverages the characteristics of GenAI models to address these challenges in robotic industrial inspection scenarios.
