DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF MULTIFUNCTIONAL WALL CLIMBING ROBOT FOR NDE INSPECTION AT IN ACCESSIBLE AREAS
Abstract
The primary objective is to design and development of a MWCR for high temperature applications with good
stability and flexibility. Our primary objective is to design, development of MWCR for inspecting inaccessible areas such as
narrow gaps. The robot should be able to access the narrow gap with bending so the size and flexibility of the system is very
important along with the stability of the system. So the system requires good control system mechanism. We also need to
consider the payload capacity of the system since it needs to carry cameras, eddy current sensors etc. Since the MWCR is
meant for inspection purpose we need to ensure the safety of the cameras and sensors
