It is necessary to improve the efficiency of embankment inspection of rivers in urban areas. In urban areas, river's water depth changes. So that, it is necessary to check by walking or check using ship. In urban areas, flight of UAV is prohibited by the aeronautical law. Therefore, the amphibious systems is suitable for inspection robot. In this research, we developed a hovercraft aiming at the inspection and management of rivers in urban areas. In this report, we describe the outline of the developed hovercraft and the evaluation test results.
