Design and Realization of a Flat Surface Cleaning Robot

Abstract

Through the analysis of the glass wall and solar panel cleaning robot research status at home and abroad, based on cleaning characteristics and requirements of such kind of smooth surface, a full pneumatic-driven flat surface cleaning robot system is presented. The robot adopts unique three-position cylinder driving technique, SCM and PC two-level control, can crawl along the smooth surface and clean, and can overcome obstacles in a certain height. Running results show that the robot system has simple structure, low cost, the functions of on-line fault diagnosis, and can provide a new efficient, simple and safe way for the glass wall and solar panel cleaning.
