System, apparatus and method for providing an interactive inspection map

A method for providing an interactive inspection map of an inspection surface inspected by an inspection robot, the method comprising:

• providing an inspection map to a user device;
• interpreting a user focus value;
• determining an action in response to the user focus value;
• updating the inspection map in response to the determined action, the inspection map including positioned-based inspection data of the inspection surface;
• and
• providing the updated inspection map.

A system comprising:

• an inspection robot comprising a plurality of payloads;
• a plurality of arms, wherein each of the plurality of arms is pivotally mounted to one of the plurality of payloads;
• a plurality of sleds, wherein each sled is mounted to one of the plurality of arms;
• a plurality of inspection sensors, each of the inspection sensors coupled to one of the plurality of sleds such that each sensor is operationally couplable to an inspection surface, wherein the plurality of sleds are horizontally distributed on the inspection surface at selected horizontal positions, and wherein each of the arms is horizontally moveable relative to a corresponding payload;
• and
• a controller comprising:
• a user interaction circuit structured to interpret a user focus value;
• an action request circuit structured to determine an action in response to the user focus value;
• an inspection visualization circuit structured to update an inspection map in response to the determined action, the inspection map including positioned-based inspection data of the inspection surface;
• and
• a provisioning circuit structured to provide the updated inspection map.
