Abstract

Owing to the revision of Japanese building law in 2008, the demand for wall inspections has been increasing. Currently, wall inspections are performed by workers using hammering devices; this involves dangerous work at high elevations. Therefore, we developed an inspection system using NOBORIN®, a hanging-type wall climbing robot. In this paper, we introduce the robot and its hammering inspection system, and propose a method for image mosaicking and localization using images captured from an equipped camera. The estimated values are used to correct the elevation motion(s) of the robot.
