Abstract

The development of a novel twin robot system for 3D X-ray imaging integrates advanced robotic control with mobile X-ray technology to significantly enhance diagnostic accuracy and efficiency in both medical and industrial applications. Key technical aspects, including innovative design specifications and system architecture, are discussed in detail. The twin robots operate in tandem, providing comprehensive imaging capabilities with high precision. This novel approach offers potential applications ranging from medical diagnostics to industrial inspections, significantly improving over traditional imaging methods. Preliminary results demonstrate the system’s effectiveness in producing detailed 3D images, underscoring its potential for wide-ranging uses. Future research will focus on optimizing image quality and automating the imaging process to increase utility and efficiency. This development signifies a step forward in integrating robotics and imaging technology, promising enhanced outcomes in various fields.
