腐蚀会造成钢构件的截面损失或开裂，这是钢结构桥梁劣化的重要原因之一。对于钢桥的一些关键部件来说，它是致命的，甚至可能导致整座桥的倒塌。目前最常用的钢桥检验方法是检验员开着检验车目视检验。本文主要介绍了一种能在钢桥表面移动的磁轮爬坡机器人。实验结果表明，攀爬机器人可以在不影响交通的情况下在钢桥上自由移动，降低了检查人员的风险。
Corrosion can cause section loss or cracks in the steel members which is one of the most important causes of deterioration of steel bridges. For some critical components of a steel bridge, it is fatal and could even cause the collapse of the whole bridge. Nowadays the most common approach to steel bridge inspection is visual inspection by inspectors with inspection trucks. This paper mainly presents a climbing robot with magnetic wheels which can move on the surface of steel bridge. Experiment results shows that the climbing robot can move on the steel bridge freely without disrupting traffic to reduce the risks to the inspectors.
