Cable climbing robot for safety inspection and maintenance of cable bridges
Suspension bridge hangers and stay cables in public are very dangerous when inspecting directly by the operator or using a carrier due to the problem of locational accessibility and safety. In addition, due to the limitation of mobility, perfect inspection is impossible, and a lot of time and cost are incurred during inspection. This equipment was developed to solve the accessibility of cable inspection, and to reduce the reliability of bridge inspection and time and financial cost.
