Switching-arm Bridge Inspection Robot for Continuous Operation

In order to improve the existing problems of high labor cost, low inspection efficiency and high safety risk in bridge inspection, this paper proposes a switching-arm bridge inspection robot that can work continuously, which can realize dynamic automatic obstacle avoidance by the new switching-arm structure and laser radar, and at the same time, the actual motion properties of the robot and the safety measures have been taken into consideration in the design, which is finally verified in the experiments.
