Abstract
The traditional method used for bridge inspection by using truck and scaffold is dangerous for the inspector and it also can cause traffic congestion in certain cases. The objective of this project is to design and develop a magnetic track robot to support the steel bridge inspection. This robot uses tracked locomotion design to enhance the capability of traveling on the uneven terrain. Research has been conducted to investigate the current design and recommendation of the inspection robot. Several concepts have been developed and analyzed by using commercial software. The final concept has been decided and undergoes the fabrication process. As a result, the objective of this project was partially achieved. � 2019 Author(s).
