Abstract

Wall climbing robots are extremely useful for deployment in hazardous environments and operation at great heights and other hard to reach space. However, these robots usually require large and heavy suction pads and associated cylinders for supporting the payload and effectual movement during climbing and inspection process and are very difficult to miniaturise. A new type of robot mechanism has been developed where movements are powered by electric motors and hence can be made on a much smaller scale and with the promise of high speed of operation.
