Visually examine materials, structures, or components for signs of corrosion, metal fatigue, cracks, or other flaws, using tools and equipment such as endoscopes, closed-circuit television systems, and fiber optics.
Task automation exposure
Very low exposure
Exposure basis
[v4/median] score 5 (raw 5 | A 5 / B 5 / C 10 | modality: physical_primary) While AI image recognition can assist in identifying defects, the task requires physical manipulation of endoscopes and CCTV systems in complex, often hazardous industrial environments, which is not widely automated by robotics for typical employers. (capable: None - human-led)

How much of this task's output current AI can produce or substantially assist.
Best current model strength on any capability this task requires.
This is an assessment of technical feasibility plus published evidence - not a forecast. Even fully automatable tasks are often not automated, because of cost, verification, liability, regulation or the fact that the task is bundled with other work.
