Inspection robot with forward and rearward sensor mount groups

A system, comprising:

• an inspection robot comprising:
• a payload, comprising:
• a first sled assembly comprising a first forward sensor mount group and a second rearward sensor mount group, wherein the first forward sensor mount group is positioned at a first characteristic horizontal position, and wherein the second rearward sensor mount group is positioned at a second characteristic horizontal position;
• a second sled assembly comprising a third forward sensor mount group and a fourth rearward sensor mount group, wherein the third forward sensor mount group is positioned at a third characteristic horizontal position, and wherein the fourth rearward sensor mount group is positioned at a fourth characteristic horizontal position,
• wherein the first forward sensor mount group and the third forward sensor mount group each comprise mounts for a first sensor type, and wherein the second rearward sensor mount group and the fourth rearward sensor mount group each comprises mounts for a second sensor type;
• and
• a payload mount, wherein the first sled assembly is coupled to the payload mount at a first mounting position, and wherein the second sled assembly is coupled to the payload mount at a second mounting position, and wherein the payload mount is coupled to a body of the inspection robot,
• wherein the first characteristic horizontal position and the third characteristic horizontal position are selected such that a last sensor mount of the first forward sensor mount group is horizontally displaced from a first sensor mount of the third forward sensor mount group by not greater than a selected inspection resolution.
