Once working at heights is dangerous, it is a significant accident. These accidents brought
substantial economic losses and caused a large number of casualties. Therefore, it is …

As an effort of automating the bridge inspection process, this paper presents a new
development of an adaptable tank-like robot, which can climb on steel structures to collect …

The maintenance and inspection of large vertical structures with autonomous systems is still
an unsolved problem. A large number of different robots exist which are able to navigate on …

This paper addresses the problem of planning the motion of a multilimbed robot in order to
“free-climb” vertical rock surfaces. Freeclimbing only relies on frictional contact with the …

There are large numbers of high-rise buildings with glass curtain walls that require constant
cleaning and is carried out using permanent gondola systems. This is a laborious and …

This paper presents a proposed research on the wall climbing robot with permanent
magnetic tracks. A brief review about the wall climbing robot is given, different prototypes of …

This paper presents the design of the permanent magnetic system for the wall climbing robot
with permanent magnetic tracks. A proposed wall climbing robot with permanent magnetic …

Motivated by a high demand for automated inspection of civil infrastructure, this work
presents an efficient design and development of a tank-like robot for structural health …

Steel bridges constitute the second most bridges in the US while the number of deficient
bridges are growing. Currently, the majority number of current bridge inspections are done …
