Which of America's bridges are getting ready to collapse? More than 600,000 bridges in the U.S. are due for inspection. Traditionally, divers are sent out to visually examine the bridges' underwater structures. The work is time-consuming, expensive, and tedious, and can be dangerous. Karl von Ellenrieder and his team at Florida Atlantic University's Dania Beach campus are working on a fleet of intelligent, autonomous boats that could replace many of those divers.
