Abstract

In this paper, we propose a wheel-based cable climbing robotic system which can climb up and down the vertical cylindrical cables in the suspension bridges. Firstly, we develop climbing mechanism which includes wheels driven by motors and adhesion system. In addition, we propose a special design of adhesion mechanism which can maintain adhesion force even when the power is lost. Finally, an additional mechanism is developed for guaranteeing the safely of the robot during operations on cables.
