Remote visual inspection (RVI) is a nondestructive testing (NDT) technique used for the visual inspection of an object where the person performing the inspection operates a piece of equipment from a distance. Most of the inspection applications used for quality purposes are carried out using three main types of equipment:  borescopes, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), and crawler robots. Find out more about their uses and advantages.
