“…Multiple mobile platforms have been designed over the last 10 years in order to operate in different sectors including industrial, research, inspection and high-risk operations. For instance, mobile robot systems have been designed to operate in the area of sewer cleaning (Birkenhofer et al 2003) and thermal power plants (Gao et al 2008, 610-615) The robots navigate in sewer tunnels and over big silos to perform inspection operations consisting to measure the state of important components and successively perform simple cleaning tasks. Further research activities regard the employment of autonomous robotic systems in more complex environments like in big industrial plants (Arbeiter et al) and material flow systems (Bücker 2011;Brutscheck 2012).…”

The MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) industry expected economic growth is severely limited by the high human injury and death toll rates, mainly associated to harsh working environment and scarcity of unmanned support solutions. The present work introduces an advanced mobile robotic platform that is capable of providing a clear response to key MRO barriers being designed to climb vertical surfaces and operating in harsh environment while executing inspection and repairing tasks. The paper outlines the integrated design procedure supporting the engineering of the mobile platform; the benefits of the solution have been addressed and validated with regard to real world operating scenarios.
