Abstract

The objective of this paper is to develop an efficient Wall-Climbing Robot (WCR) which can move on the wall for cleaning purposes. The biggest problem with this type of robot that the researchers encounter is how to keep the robot moving steadily on the wall. This study proposed a new mechanical design of the Wall-Climbing robot using the Vacuum principle and wireless control technology for flexible movement on the wall. In which, the Minimum Required Adhesion Force (FMRA) is calculated to be balanced with gravity and its torque. Moreover, a Wireless Control System (WCS) is designed to drive the Robot remotely.
