Recent years, many infrastructures e.g. bridges and tunnels are deteriorating, so we must inspect and repair them. However, due to labor shortage and the work accompanied by danger, we have not done the inspection and repairing. For that reason, development of automated inspection robot is required. In this paper, we focused on the wall inspection, and develop the wall climbing robot with the suction mechanism using negative pressure adsorption, and also downsize the suction mechanism and the body of robot. We confirmed the efficiency of the suction mechanism using negative pressure and wall climbing robot.
