2026 Honoree Award

FD‑RIDER‑IR (AI Infrastructure Inspection and Repair Robot)

FD Tech Co., Ltd.
  • 2026 Honoree in Construction & Industrial Tech
FD‑RIDER‑IR is an AI‑powered robotic system designed to revolutionize infrastructure maintenance by replacing dangerous, labor‑intensive inspection and repair tasks. Traditionally, building exterior and interior inspections require human workers to perform high‑risk, time‑consuming procedures, often resulting in inconsistent results and high costs. FD‑RIDER‑IR solves this by integrating precision hardware and intelligent software in one autonomous unit. The robot adheres to vertical surfaces to capture visual data for exterior crack detection, quantified through AI‑driven image analysis. For internal assessments, it performs non‑destructive testing using impact and ultrasonic sensors, interpreting audio data via AI to evaluate internal damage. It then autonomously performs targeted repairs: cleaning, injecting, or sealing damage depending on its severity. From inspection to final repair, FD‑RIDER‑IR ensures safer, faster, and more accurate building maintenance. It represents a breakthrough in robotic infrastructure management, delivering data‑driven precision and operational efficiency in a single, scalable platform.
