With the aging of social and industrial infrastructure becoming a social problem, various new technologies such as the utilization of robots and drones and the automatic extraction of damage by deep learning are being studied. Among them, inspection robots that utilize wires are attracting attention as a method that has less risk of crashing and can be approached without directly contacting the structure to be inspected. However, when using a wire, it is necessary to consider a method of fixing the end to the structure, and it is also necessary to consider incorporating the extension of the rope itself into the control system and putting it into practical use. This paper introduces a device for practical use and an approach for achieving the purpose of the Rope Stroller, which inspects without touching the structure hanging the wire.
