Module-Enhanced Slope-Adaptive and Hazard-Aware Hexapod Robotic System for Safe Roof Inspection

Abstract

Abstract Roof inspection is essential yet perilous in construction, with falls causing 24% of fatal work injuries. While drones allow rapid surveying, they often lack close-range precision, and ground-based robots struggle with pitched, irregular ... Practical Applications This research addresses a critical safety challenge in the construction industry, in which roof inspection work results in hundreds of fatalities annually due to falls from heights. The developed robotic system offers construction ...
