Mag-Foot: A steel bridge inspection robot [PDF]
2009 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2009 A legged robot that moves across a steel structure is developed for steel bridge inspection. Powerful permanent magnets imbedded in each foot allow the robot to hang from a steel ceiling powerlessly. Although the magnets are passive, the attractive force is modulated by tilting the foot against the steel surface. This allows the robot to slide its feet
