Parameter analysis and design framework for magnetic adhesion wall climbing wheeled robot
This work has led to the development of a novel prototype permanent magnet adhesion inspection robot that can climb on large reinforced concrete structures by adhering the robot to bars buried more than 50mm deep. This development has huge potential for industrial inspection tasks in the nuclear and civil engineering industries. A patent application is in preparation. Sellafield has supplied a business requirements document and will provide letters of support to seek funding to develop the robot:
