Development of a double-cavity climbing robot for on-site inspection of glass-curtain-walls

摘要

How to develop practical robots with high artificial intelligence to replace the traditional manual method of on-site inspection of glass-curtain-walls needs to be solved urgently. Therefore, a double-cavity climbing robot that can automatically conduct safety inspection of glass-curtain-wall is researched and presented in this paper. The robot includes adsorption module based on the principle of negative pressure adsorption, servo-drive system to control traveling distance, vibration testing device and safety device. The mechanical structure and its optimization are described in detail, which is followed by a presentation of the robot control system. Finally the wall-climbing and vibration testing experiments are conducted on glass-curtain-wall, and effectiveness of the design is approved.
