The invention discloses a detection robot based on negative pressure adsorption. The detection robot comprises a robot shell, a propelling system, a left adjusting system, a left pressure system, a detection system, an adsorption suction cup, a right adjusting system and a control system. A positive pressure system is arranged on the robot shell, and the left adjusting system and the right adjusting system are arranged on the left side and the right side of the robot shell respectively; the propelling system is arranged on the rear side of the robot shell, and the detection system is arranged at the front end of the robot shell; and the adsorption suction cup is arranged at the lower end of the robot shell. The detection robot has the advantages that the detection system has no blind angle within 360 degrees, the detection range is large, and through a wireless system, picture detection visualized analysis is achieved, and the subjective effect in the manual detection is avoided; through the negative pressure system, the suction cup carries out adsorption so as to enable the robot to stay on the main detection portion for a long time; a detection platform is not needed to be erected in the detection work process, the detection cost is reduced, and potential safety hazards of aloft work are eliminated.
