Description
Two types of wall surface vehicles were designed for inspection and maintenance robots of large structures. Each vehicle employs legged locomotion achieved via vacuum pads, or magnetic legs. A common problem of wall surface vehicles is the reliability with which they are held on a wall. Then prototypes of the vehicles were fabricated and tested in the laboratory. They demonstrated the necessary reliability for locomotion on the walls
