Development of Exterior Wall Painting Robot

Development of Roller-Based Interior Wall Painting Robot

This paper describes the development of an autonomous robot for painting the interior walls of buildings. The robot consists of a painting arm with an end effector roller that scans the walls vertically and a mobile platform to give horizontal feed to paint the whole area of the wall. The painting arm has a planar twolink mechanism with two joints. Joints are driven from a stepping motor throug...

Practical Uses of Painting Robot for Exterior Walls of High -rise Buildings

The robot automates the operation painting on exterior walls of high-rise buildings. The robot is designed to ensure safety during work at high elevations, assure the quality of the coating, enhances efficiency and maintain the privacy of guests in the building. At the Shinjuku Center Building (54 above-ground storeys, 220 m in height, 100,000 m' of coating) one of Tokyo's high-rise buildings, ...

Development of Fail-Safety system for Building Wall Cleaning Robot

Recently, there is growing trend to build the high-rise and install curtain walls. Following this trend, we developed robot for building wall cleaning work, which moves along Built-in guide rail of building. Because it moves attached at building wall for cleaning work, it can be seriously affected by potential threats, like earthquake, strong wind, malfunction, and construction error of built-i...

City-Climber: Development of a Novel Wall-Climbing Robot

This article describes a novel mobile wall-climbing robot named City-Climber that has the capabilities to move on the ground, climb walls, walk on ceilings, and transit between different surfaces. Unlike the traditional climbing robots using magnetic devices and vacuum suction techniques, and the robots inspired by the gecko foot, the City-Climber robot is based on aerodynamic attraction which ...
