Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method of inspecting a structure, the method comprising: deploying one or more three-dimensional (3D) contact scanners to scan a structure; and detecting 3D information about the structure by implementing a tactile sensor system of the one or more 3D contact scanners across a surface of at least part of the structure, the tactile sensor system including at least one tactile sensor, the at least one tactile sensor including a pinscreen stamp, wherein implementing the tactile sensor system includes measuring one or more of: (1) resistance to pressure being applied to at least one point of a plurality of points on the surface of at least part of the structure via the at least one tactile sensor; or (2) a depth of at least one point of the plurality of points on the surface of the at least part of the structure via the at least one tactile sensor.
