About
Dr. Jose Chagoya is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, structural health monitoring, and thermal sensing. His work focuses on developing autonomous inspection systems that enhance the safety and longevity of critical infrastructure, including power plant transformers and civil structures. In his most-cited study, "Data Collection, Heat Map Generation for Crack Detection Using Robotic Dog Fused with FLIR Sensor" (2024), he introduced a novel method combining quadrupedal robots with Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR) sensors to autonomously detect surface cracks. By generating thermal heat maps, his approach enables non-destructive, real-time assessment of structural integrity, reducing human risk and improving diagnostic accuracy. Though early in its impact, this work has already garnered attention for its innovative fusion of robotics and thermography. Dr. Chagoya’s contributions are shaping the future of predictive maintenance, offering scalable solutions for aging infrastructure. His research exemplifies how robotic mobility and sensor fusion can revolutionize field inspections, making him a rising voice in applied robotics and civil engineering.
