Abstract: Disclosed are an embracing crawling robot for detecting an underwater pier of a highway bridge and a detection method therefor. The robot includes a main body, underwater lighting systems, tool compartments, depth metering modules, servo driving wheels, inclination measurement modules, underwater manipulator arms, vision array modules, synchronized stretching and fixing systems, and driven wheels. The robot is capable of crawling around an underwater pier of a highway bridge and operating stably in an underwater environment. After cleaning surface attachments on the underwater pier, the robot performs visual detection of a disease; and after determining type and location information of the disease, the robot will transmit disease information back. The robot is capable of crawling around the underwater pier of the highway bridge stably at any depths, perceiving depth and visual information under high-speed and turbid water conditions, thereby realizing detection of the disease on the underwater pier.
