This study addresses the development of a robot for inspection of old bridges. By suspending the robot with a wire and controlling the wire length, the movement of the robot is realized. The robot mounts a high-definition camera and aims to detect cracks on the concrete surface of the bridge using this camera. An inspection method using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been proposed. Compared to the method using an unmanned aerial vehicle, the wire suspended robot system has the advantage of insensitivity to wind and ability to carry heavy equipments, this makes it possible to install a high-definition camera and a cleaning function to find cracks that are difficult to detect due to dirt.

The article presents the scientific and methodological issues of formation of digital twins collections based on the use of the multi-aspect recursive decomposition algorithm of the subject area. The general approaches to the solution of topical issues of the modern stage of artificial intelligence are considered. The terminology is concretized in the interrelated areas of knowledge – information – data and its relation with the term of «digital twins» as information containers of knowledge is discussed. The structure, power estimation and metrizability of the information space presented as a recursively defined ordered set of elements – a collection of digital twins (DT-collections) are considered. It is shown that the practical implementation of this approach and its application as part of automated control systems involves maintaining the life cycle of the creation and operation of digital twins in the Integrated information storage, implementing a two-circuit scheme (model) of management. A new cognitive approach to assess the completeness of the knowledge measure in the information space is proposed. The model of the integrated information storage realizing accumulation of knowledge in data banks of primary and secondary information is considered. As an example, a recursive decomposition of a subset of engineering systems of an educational institution is performed.
