DescriptionRobotic Total Stations (RTS) represent a significant advancement in geospatial measurement technology, integrating high-precision angle and distance measurement with automated target tracking. Their applications in monitoring—particularly in structural health, deformation, and construction—have revolutionized data accuracy and efficiency. Key Applications in Monitoring 1. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) RTS enables real-time, millimeter-level deformation measurement of bridges, dams, and high-rise buildings, ensuring early detection of structural anomalies. Automated periodic scans reduce human intervention, enhancing safety in hazardous environments. 2. Geotechnical & Landslide Monitoring Continuous tracking of ground displacement and slope stability using RTS networks provides critical data for risk mitigation. 3. Construction & Tunneling The powerful One-person operation mode can cover the entire process of construction from early layout to process monitoring and final acceptance. Advantages Precision: Sub-millimeter accuracy for long-term deformation analysis. Automation: Robotic tracking， one-person operation, reduces resources. ConclusionRTS technology is indispensable for modern monitoring applications, offering scalable solutions for safety-critical infrastructure. Future trends may include AI-driven anomaly detection and enhanced multi-sensor fusion. Keywords: Robotic Total Station, Deformation Monitoring, One-person operation, Automation, Geospatial Technology
