About

Ivan Mondino is a leading researcher in industrial automation and intelligent visual inspection, with a particular focus on the avionic and aerospace manufacturing sectors. His work centers on developing autonomous systems for quality control in environments where traditional human inspection is impractical due to extreme size constraints. Mondino’s most significant contribution is the creation of the first autonomous endoscope for inspecting ducts and cavities as small as 6 mm in diameter, a breakthrough detailed in his highly cited 2018 paper “Deep Endoscope: Intelligent Duct Inspection for the Avionic Industry” (27 citations). This system, designed and tested in collaboration with an avionic industry partner, represents a major leap in non-destructive testing. More recently, his 2022 work on automating the quality inspection of critical aircraft engine components—specifically honeycomb structures—addresses the unique challenges posed by their small dimensions and complex shapes. By pushing the boundaries of what can be inspected autonomously, Mondino is directly contributing to higher safety standards and production efficiency in aviation, making his research highly relevant for students and engineers interested in the future of smart manufacturing and computer vision.
