The invention provides a gap magnetic adsorption type curved surface morphology detection robot and a curved surface morphology measuring method, belonging to the mobile robot and machine vision measuring technology field. The robot comprises two driving wheels, a universal wheel, three motors, a straight line laser, a motor-drive circuit, a controller, a camera, an angle sensor, a permanent magnet body and like. By utilizing gap permanent magnetism adsorption principle and a curved surface adaptive scheme of arranging magnetic patch at the surrounding of the wheels symmetrically in a concentration way, that the robot is adsorbed on a magnetic conductive curved surface with different curvature and can move flexibly is realized. A plurality of straight line laser beams which are rotated to different angles are projected to a surface to be measured. The camera is used to shoot sequence image of the surface to be measured with laser stripes. Combined with distance detected by a laser range finder, three dimensional morphology of the surface is detected. Through a wireless video transmission module, video is transmitted to a host computer to display. The robot provided in the invention has the advantages of compact structure, flexible movement, and large adaptation curvature scope, and especially is suitable for all position three dimensional morphology detection of magnetic conductive curved surface workpiece in a narrow space.
