Abstract

Potential applications of wall climbing robot are quite numerous, such as inspection, maintenance and cleaning operations of civils infrastructures. This robot was devided into 3 parts : adhedsion part, movement part and control part. This paper presented the design and manufacture of a robot model which was suitable for well operating at 0.2 - 0.4 m/s velocity, high enough adhesion and a adaptive controller. In order to operate robot, a negative pressure adhesion mechanism was controlled by a adruino micro-controller. The result of research showed that robot was well adaptive for cleaning in high building which was from 20 to 30 meters high.

Keywords: Climbing robot, Pressure, Wifi -controller
