1. An inspection robot system, comprising
one or more detection devices, configured to at least obtain environmental image information;
a rail, suspended in an air;
a traction device, comprising a steel cable and a steel cable drive assembly, wherein the steel cable drive assembly is connected to the steel cable and is configured to drive the steel cable to move along an axial direction of the steel cable; and
one or more connecting devices, slidably connected to the rail, wherein the detection devices are respectively arranged on the connecting devices, and the connecting devices are connected to the steel cable and are configured to move along the rail under a traction of the steel cable;
and at least one of the connecting devices is/are each provided with a multi-axis manipulator, and the multi-axis manipulator is configured to carry a respective detection device of the detection devices to allow the respective detection device to move relative to the rail, wherein the rail is in a shape of a closed circle, the steel cable drive assembly comprises two traction disks and two disk drivers configured to drive the traction disks to rotate, and the steel cable is attached to circumferential arc-shaped surfaces of the two traction disks to form a closed circle.
