Project Title

DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF WALL CLIMBING ROBOT FOT ROUGH AND IRREGULAR SURFACES

Project Area of Specialization RoboticsProject Summary

There are places where human access is difficult and we need to monitor some areas for inspection or surveillance purposes. We have successfully created a wall climbing robot, which is restricted to climb only rough terrain. We have done calculations about the robot to get to know how it’s being able to climb and created an engineering drawing for further analysis.

Project Objectives

The main purpose of the project is to minimize the cost for the surveillance purpose as well as to reduce the safety that are related to this job. It eliminates the risk of human life. The machine is cost effective, reduces work force for human workers and reduces time consumption. These factors motivate the development of a wall climbing robot

Project Implementation Method

Building and construction is one of the growing industries which needs is increasing day by day. To make the surveillance work easier and safer wall climbing robot is introduced. To meet the requirements, we design and analyze the wall climbing robot.

Benefits of the Project

The purpose of the project is to minimize the human effort for surveillance as well as to reduce the safety and health issues that are related to this job. It eliminates the hazards caused to the human also risk of human life. The machine is cost effective, reduces work force for human workers and reduces time consumption. These factors motivate the development of a wall climbing robot

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

We have passed through many experiments, slightest of changes can bring about the best results. We started with a PVC pipe and used 12V DC motor, knowing the weight of the robot is too much and it’ll face difficulty in climbing. We thought that increasing the number of micro spine will be helpful but still we were having problems. Finally, gave angle to the motors called sweep angle, climb was getting better but was not a total success. Therefore, we decided to change the material of the body and the motors, using most lightweight material available in market. EVA foam, was the material we came across which was light weight and also good in strength. We used that with servo motors, with certain modification it was a success
