Remotely controllable and manipulable unmanned apparatus for safely inspecting, testing, viewing and for non-invasive examination and evaluation of the general condition, the state of repair, and of the quality of fabrication of mechanical structures such as large buildings, chimneys and bridges. The apparatus includes a movable carrier or platform for supporting selectable scanning, testing and sensor equipment. A drive mechanism controls the movement of the platform along a predetermined inspection path to be traversed. Auxiliary electrical components and transducers are provided for transmitting intelligence and data generated by the inspection apparatus to a remote station where the intelligence is received for review, evaluation and recordation.
