Abstract
Ship's hull inspection is a difficult, time-consuming and dangerous task. Robotic systems present an alternative to manual methods of control, but state-of-the-art solutions don't exhibit the levels of mobility and maneuverability required for operation in the internal structure of the hull. The article focuses on the development of a high mobility robotic platform based on magnetic wheels capable of traversing obstacles and complex surfaces.

Key words
Ship hull inspection, robotic diagnostics, robotic inspection, high mobility robot, non-destructive testing.
