Claim 11:
12. An inspection robot, comprising:
an inspection chassis; and
a drive module coupled to the inspection chassis, the drive module comprising:
a plurality of magnetic wheels, each magnetic wheel having a contact surface below an inspection side of the inspection chassis;
a motor;
an electromagnetic sensor coupled to the motor;
a magnetic shielding assembly structured to shield the motor and the electromagnetic sensor from electromagnetic interference generated by the plurality of magnetic wheels while allowing a magnetic field from the motor to penetrate the electromagnetic sensor,
wherein the magnetic shielding assembly includes a motor sleeve portion that defines an opening within which at least a portion of an inductance coil of the motor is disposed, and a sensor extension portion at a side of the electromagnetic sensor; and

a gear box operationally interposed between the motor and at least one of the plurality of magnetic wheels, wherein the gear box comprises a flex spline cup structured to interact with a ring gear.
