About

Dr. George Morgan is a robotics researcher whose work centers on low-cost automation and practical sensing solutions for infrastructure inspection. His primary research areas include affordable robotic platforms, photogrammetric surveying, and the integration of commercial off-the-shelf components for engineering applications. Dr. Morgan’s most notable contribution is his 2016 paper, "Inspection Robot with Low Cost Perception Sensing," which demonstrates how a DiddyBorg—a Raspberry Pi–powered robot—can be repurposed for bridge bearing inspection. By leveraging photogrammetry on a budget-friendly platform, he provides a replicable, accessible method for structural health monitoring. While his citation count (5 for this key work) reflects a focused, early-stage impact, his approach has been influential in promoting cost-effective robotics in civil infrastructure. Dr. Morgan’s work stands out for its practical ingenuity, showing that high-quality inspection does not always require expensive equipment. His research continues to inspire students and practitioners seeking to democratize robotic sensing technologies.
