| Abstract | This project addresses urgent safety, efficiency, and cost challenges in the roof inspection industry by developing a robotic platform that combines the mobility of drones with the terrain adaptability of legged robots. Roof inspection remains one of the most hazardous construction tasks in the United States, with a significant portion of injuries and fatalities attributed to falls and unstable surfaces. By equipping aerial robots with legged mobility and advanced perception capabilities, this p |
