“…Tests outcomes first confirmed the matching of the built system with the one described in the reference papers [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. Moreover, according to a possible scenario of a recharging operation at 10–15 cm distance, tests proved the effectiveness of the technique for recharging the node system even in case of an alignment percentage down to 25%, which represented the worst case.…”

“…A wireless, high-efficiency, low-frequency charging system is therefore required to transfer the energy required by the nodes. All the literature about wireless power transfer (WPT) methods, in particular the work by Angrisani et al [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ], proposes an inductive WPT method based on very low frequency signals to transfer energy within a range up to 30 cm, suitably outperforming commercial inductive chargers, whose operating range is limited to 5 cm.…”

“…The inductive charging system has previously been developed in the work by Angrisani et al [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ] and largely tested in free air; these tests have been reproduced as a reference for the subsequent tests in concrete.…”

Maintenance strategies based on structural health monitoring can provide effective support in the optimization of scheduled repair of existing structures, thus enabling their lifetime to be extended. With specific regard to reinforced concrete (RC) structures, the state of the art seems to still be lacking an efficient and cost-effective technique capable of monitoring material properties continuously over the lifetime of a structure. Current solutions can typically only measure the required mechanical variables in an indirect, but economic, manner, or directly, but expensively. Moreover, most of the proposed solutions can only be implemented by means of manual activation, making the monitoring very inefficient and then poorly supported. This paper proposes a structural health monitoring system based on a wireless sensor network (WSN) that enables the automatic monitoring of a complete structure. The network includes wireless distributed sensors embedded in the structure itself, and follows the monitoring-based maintenance (MBM) approach, with its ABCDE paradigm, namely: accuracy, benefit, compactness, durability, and easiness of operations. The system is structured in a node level and has a network architecture that enables all the node data to converge in a central unit. Human control is completely unnecessary until the periodic evaluation of the collected data. Several tests are conducted in order to characterize the system from a metrological point of view and assess its performance and effectiveness in real RC conditions.

“…Inductive Power Transfer systems are currently in active development and utilize a magnetic resonance coupling between primary and secondary coils to transfer power without wires [67,68]. This technology is relatively well understood in air and is commonly used for aerial and ground vehicles [69,70,71]; systems designed for submerged operation are being developed currently [66,72,73,74]. One company that produces a range of inductive power transfer systems is WFS Technologies [75].…”

“…Robots have been adopted to perform dangerous and once impossible tasks in remote areas due to their capability and flexibility. Recharging stations and docking mechanisms are available for aerial and marine applications [2,3,4,5,6]. Mobile chargers are capable of autonomously repositioning within the environment and can connect to the working vehicle, fully recharge it, safely disconnect, and rendezvous with the next vehicle that needs recharging [7,8].…”
