[0002] A magnetic wall climber (or magnetic adsorption wall-climbing robot) is a specialized robot that uses magnetic attraction to autonomously move on vertical or inverted ferromagnetic surfaces (such as steel tanks, ships, bridges, and wind turbine towers). It overcomes gravity by magnetic force to achieve stable adsorption, and combined with a walking mechanism, it can perform tasks such as inspection, maintenance, and cleaning at high altitudes or in hazardous environments. Large indoor and outdoor equipment involving gantry cranes uses welded crossbeams, the main load-bearing components of which are mostly welded. Welding seams are a key factor in safety. However, due to factors such as the height of the crossbeams, traditional weld inspections are mainly carried out manually by people carrying corresponding inspection equipment. As mentioned above, this type of inspection also involves high-altitude and dangerous working conditions, and the inspection cost is high, and the inspection efficiency and results are not ideal. However, the current inspection is mainly based on the fact that the height of the beams of gantry cranes is much smaller than that of traditional steel tanks, ships, bridges, and wind turbine towers. In addition, the inspection focuses on welds rather than traditional structural flaw detection on higher structures. Therefore, the current inspection of beam welds is still done manually. This application proposes to use a magnetic wall climber for the inspection of gantry crane machinery, especially weld inspection. When the magnetic wall climber is used for the inspection of gantry crane machinery, the planning of the crawling path is relatively complicated, and there is currently a lack of corresponding wall climbing control technology.
