Abstract

Wall climbing robots have been widely used in rescue, construction industry, municipal engineering, petrochemical, shipbuilding, aviation, nuclear power and other fields to replace humans in dangerous places or special terrain for related activities, however, traditional wall climbing robots commonly use permanent magnetic or electromagnetic adsorption, negative pressure adsorption, electrostatic adsorption, bionic materials and other means to overcome gravity However, most of these methods can only climb in specific experimental environments, and there are problems such as the single surface of the climbing medium, which cannot adapt to walls with variable curvature and surface roughness. In this paper, a dual propeller variable structure wall climbing robot is designed based on the adhesion characteristics and climbing mechanism of the foot end of a gecko. The robot consists of an adhesion wheel system, a lightweight variable structure system and a positive pressure adsorption generation system. The robot has a good ability to change its kinematic posture and has good crawling adaptability and variable surface transition capability.
