About

Valeriy Borikov is a leading researcher in non-destructive testing and robotic ultrasonic tomography, with a focus on advancing calibration techniques for industrial inspection systems. His most-cited work, "Method of Noncontact Calibration of the Robotic Ultrasonic Tomograph" (2016, 11 citations), introduces a novel approach that leverages 3D scanning to construct precise robot-manipulator trajectories over inspection objects. This method dramatically accelerates the calibration process while preventing potential misalignments, enhancing the reliability of automated ultrasonic imaging. Borikov’s contributions are pivotal in bridging robotics and ultrasonic sensing, enabling faster, more accurate defect detection in complex geometries—critical for aerospace, energy, and manufacturing sectors. His research underscores the importance of integrating spatial data with robotic control to improve tomographic accuracy and operational efficiency. By reducing calibration time and error, Borikov’s work supports the broader adoption of robotic noncontact inspection, making him a key figure in the evolution of intelligent quality assurance systems.
