An Automatic Intelligent Wall Climbing Robot: Wallbot

چکیده
The main objective of designing this robot is simplify the challenge of climbing on the high buildings, trees, etc. which is almost impossible for humans. Our target is to build a wall-climbing robot that can climb walls, walk on ceilings, crawl through pipes and traverse on floors for which we have used a different technology of Attraction Force caused due to Bernoulli’s effect. This paper proposes a new suction method based on a mechanism utilizing hook‐like claws and presents the design of a robot system for inspecting rough concrete walls. We present a method for describing the degree of concrete surface roughness that is attachment and detachment of the suction vacuum pump based on Bernoulli Effect. The results indicate that the low‐cost system endows the robot with enhanced climbing stability and satisfies the inspection requirements for tower constructed by water brush stone or bricks.

Estimation and Calibration of Robot Link Parameters with Intelligent Techniques
Abstract: Using robot manipulators for high accuracy applications require precise value of the kinematics parameters. Since measurement of kinematics parameters are usually associated with errors and accurate measurement of them is an expensive task, automatic calibration of robot link parameters makes the task of kinematics parameters determination much easier. In this paper a simple and easy ...
متن کاملWall Climbing Robots with Track-wheel Mechanism
This paper presents a family of climbing robots that are using a track-wheel mechanism for locomotion mechanism. There are three robots: High speed vertical climbing robot, Flexible caterpillar robot, and Multi-linked climbing robot. The high speed vertical climbing robot uses suction pads to be attached on walls, and the robot has an advantage of high climbing speed of 14 m/min. The flexible c...
