Abstract

Systems and methods for passively normalizing an ultrasonic dry-coupled wheeled probe as it traverses a surface of a structure (e.g., a flat structure or a curved pipe) to inspect the structure. At least one pair of arms is configured to passively maintain the probe in a normalizing orientation that is orthogonal to the surface.
