The purpose of this study is to develop an automatic attraction system for UAVs using EPM (Electro Permanent Magnet) to save labor in structural inspection. The automatic attraction system for UAVs can attract objects with a large attraction force by detecting contact by measuring the induced electromotive force (EMF). In this study, the EPM was impacted against attracted objects of various shapes, and the induced EMF generated in the coil of the EPM was measured to compare the voltage with the shape of the attracted surface. The results showed that in most cases, the larger the impact velocity, the smaller the curvature of the attracted surface, and the smaller the horizontal offset, the larger the induced EMF generated. Furthermore, it was shown that by using the voltage obtained from the results and using the automatic attraction system, the maximum speed that can be attracted is more than double compared to the case without the system.
