1st Robo CT User Forum

Insights into Robotic Non-Destructive Testing Capabilities and Future Developments

April 11-12, 2025 | Prague, Czech Republic

MEET THE COMMUNITY

Join the expanding community of developers and users of robotic non-destructive testing solutions at the Robo CT User Forum. The goal of the forum is to introduce a revolutionary method of truly non-destructive testing using mobile robotic CT to experts in the field. This technology enables the testing of samples of virtually any size, such as an entire airplane, without the need to dismantle its parts. 

DISCUSS THE STANDARDS

We aim to bring together companies and research institutions involved in robotic non-destructive testing for the first time. International participants will discuss the future of this technology. A key topic will be codifying industry standards and establishing procedures for implementing innovative methods, such as Robosynthesis, Robotic CT, Robotic Backscattering, Robotic 2D Imaging, and others, in collaboration with both developers and potential users of these technologies. 

EXCEED THE LIMITS

Robotic CT for NDT represents an unconventional approach with numerous challenges ahead. What are the limits of traditional NDT methods? What are the use cases for robotic arms and co-bots? How can synergies be leveraged? Don’t miss the opportunity to participate in expert round tables, where you can meet potential partners and competitors alike.

Don’t miss the chance to be part of something new

Check out the original accompanying programme

Tapster Academy

Did you know why we only pour our beer into a wet glass? At what temperature does beer taste best? After completing exclusive Tapster Academy, you'll never look at beer the same way again. And to top it all off, you'll receive a certificate of completion and a special gift - because you've earned it! (website)

The Original Beer Tour

During The Original Tour, you will be transported back in time and experience the story of beer from its origins in ancient times to the present day. Experience Pilsner Urquell through all senses. (website)

Location of 1st Robo CT User Forum

Residence of the Mayor of Prague

Address: 1 Mariánské náměstí, Prague, Old Town

The Mayor's Residence in Prague is located in the Municipal Library, built between 1925 and 1928 by the Prague Municipal Savings Bank as a gift for the city's 60th anniversary and the 10th anniversary of the Czechoslovak Republic.
