Abstract An increase in the number of wind turbines for power generation increases necessary inspection and repair work. Specifically, inspection and repair of the leading-edge part of the blades is severely required, and the number is also high. Inspection and repair work is dangerous and costly. Therefore, we propose a novel robot that can move in a vertical direction by using the blade as a guide while touching the leading-edge of the wind turbine blade. This method involves ensuring that the size of the robot is sufficiently small to be transported by humans, and the robot is controlled in a simple way by only using existing facilities, and thus, it is possible to perform contact work.
