Corrosion of reinforcing steel adversely affects the durability and safety of our infrastructure (bridges, power plants or buildings) with huge annual costs. Timely detection of corrosion could thus greatly reduce the costs of repair interventions. Climbing robots using vortex technology are able to adhere to vertical, inclined or even underside concrete surfaces. Therefore, the objective is to combine two state-of-the art technologies to create a climbing robot for corrosion monitoring of reinforced concrete structures.

Abstract
Corrosion of reinforcing steel adversely affects the durability and safety of our infrastructure (bridges, power plants or buildings) with huge annual costs. Timely detection of corrosion could thus greatly reduce the costs of repair interventions. Climbing robots using vortex technology are able to adhere to vertical, inclined or even underside concrete surfaces. Therefore, the objective is to combine two state-of-the art technologies to create a climbing robot for corrosion monitoring of reinforced concrete structures.
