An actuation system and method are actuated to control magnetic adhesion of a wheel to a surface. The actuation system is coupled to the wheel having inner and outer annular discs and the wheel is configured to adhere magnetically to a surface. The actuation system has a motor configured to rotate a first disc and to not rotate a second disc. In a first configuration, the motor rotates the first disc relative to the second disc in a first rotational direction, thereby generating a first magnetic flux to increase the adhesion of the wheel to the metallic surface. In a second configuration, the motor rotates the first disc relative to the second disc in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction, thereby generating a second magnetic flux to decrease the adhesion of the wheel to the metallic surface. A method is also disclosed.
