Wheeled wall climbing robot with suction chamber: Building process and analysis

Abstract

Robots have become a priceless remedy that can be deployed in places and applicative areas where humans have restrictions and risks. For example, painting of high raised buildings, surveillance of terrorist areas, cleaning of high temperature boilers etc., can visualize loss of human lives and robots come as an alternative. In this paper, a wall climbing robot is built that is able to manoeuvre over the surface of the vertical walls to perform work involves risk and restrictions. Vertical climbing systems can be achieved by creating negative pressure adhesion with a suction chamber and movement through a driving system. During transitions from horizontal to vertical or vertical to horizontal, as well as while overcoming a barrier or an uneven structure, the safety of the moving robot is even more important. This paper investigates the procedural building up of a wheeled wall climbing robot (WCR) and the negative pressure created in the chambers. Remotely monitoring hazardous areas, reconnaissance, flaws inspection, and firefighting are just a few of the uses for a Wall-Climbing Robot system. Climbing autonomous robots are required for present requirements in biomedical, aeronautical, environmental, and military applications. Many applications need object manipulation and observation, which often necessitates the ability to scale barriers.
