Robots in the inspection of railway infrastructure

The article presents an overview of examples of robotic inspection solutions for railways are given. It is noted that these solutions are still being researched and tested. To transition to commercial operation of inspection robots, it is proposed to conduct systemic studies to determine the best solutions according to the “cost-benefit” criterion, as well as to elaborate a comprehensive program for the development of standardized components for robotic inspection systems.
