209 Adaptability to Actual Environment of Bridge Inspection Robot with Permanent Magnets

摘要

Robots using for the bridge inspection to aim at the labor saving and lowering the maintenance cost is desirable for the management and maintenance of many old bridges because the conventional method will impose a burden on the economy. We had created a four-wheel driving robot for trial purposes that can inspect cracks and corrosion in steel bridge substructures. If the robot will be used in real environment, it needs cameras which are used to control the robot for the bridge inspection. In this study, we verified the cameras adapted to BIREM. Finally, it was found suitable camera equipped with wide-angle lens.
