A robot was developed for inspection and maintenance of large-scale plant structures such as: an oil storage tank, a spherical gas storage tank, an oil tanker and others. The robot adheres to and moves around the wall by means of permanent magnetic wheels. The features of the robot are that it moves smoothly and swiftly (max. speed of 9m/min) on any wall configuration without damaging the coating of the wall. (Copyright (c) NKK Corporation, 1988.)
