In this paper, simulation and experimental tests are reported for a hybrid robot being used indoor outdoor inspections. Automatic or tele-operated surveys can be performed by mobile robots, which represent the most efficient solution in terms of power consumption, control, robustness, overall costs. context structures infrastructure inspection, robots must able to move on horizontal sloped surf...

The Columbia Accident Investigation Board issued a major recommendation to NASA. Prior to return to flight, NASA should develop and implement a comprehensive inspection plan to determine the structural integrity of all Reinforced Carbon-Carbon (RCC) system components. This inspection plan should take advantage of advanced non-destructive inspection technology. This paper describes a non-intrusi...

This article is aimed at modeling of transmission line inspection robot in order to improve the mechanical mechanism and achieving dynamical stability to navigate through overhead electrical transmission lines while passing obstacles. A new mechanical mechanism design is developed that allows robot navigate more stable than current commercial inspection systems. The behavior of investigation ma...
