Abstract
Infrastructure inspection is becoming increasingly relevant in the field of robotics due to its significant impact on ensuring workers' safety. The harbor environment presents various challenges in designing a robotic solution for inspection, given the complexity of daily operations. This work introduces an initial phase to identify critical areas within the port environment. Following this, a preliminary solution using a quadruped robot for inspecting these critical areas is analyzed.
