Remote-Controlled Visual Inspection Machine for Bridge Supports
We have developed a remote-controlled visual inspection machine for bridge supports. This inspection machine adheres to concrete structures using two sets of suction cups, and ascends by alternating movements of the two sets of suction cups. Attached to the inspection machine is a CCD video camera. Video data of the condition of bridge supports is transmitted wirelessly to the operator. The visual inspection machine can ascend vertical concrete structures and then inspect bridge supports by moving horizontally. The maximum height the machine is capable of inspecting is limited by the length of the power cables as well as the weight. It will be able to inspect higher bridge supports when the weight of power cables can be reduced. The weight and the dimensions of the testing machine are about 17 kg and 84 cm by 72 cm, respectively.
