In recent years, inspecting bridge by inspectors has had problems of cost and safety, then inspecting bridge by robots has been expected. In detail bridge inspection, ultrasonic and percussion devices have been used, and a robot for detail inspection of the bridge has to run on the bridge with these heavy devices. Therefore, we have developed the magnetic wheel robot capable to load heavy things and run from floor to wall, and from wall to ceiling of steel structures. Furthermore, autonomous driving system is necessary for practical application of bridge inspection by robots. In this study, we have confirmed that the robot can run automatically in climbing a wall by control of robot’s yaw angle and wheel angular velocity.
