ABSTRACT
Inspections are part of tunnel operation. To assure users safety periodic inspections of the state of the tunnels lining are needed. Current tools available have one problem in common: they cause severe interference with the tunnels regular operation. In order to avoid this issue, these inspections must be done in short periods of time and trying not to interrupte traffic, therefore usually at night. The DRAGARITA robot has been designed as a versatile remote controlled vehicle which is able to move in horizontal, vertical and inverted surfaces. It has been developed to reach inaccessible zones and to perform a fast inspection through cameras and scanners.
