  • Abstract
    In this research paper we propose embedded system based wireless pole climbing robot for multipurpose applications. This can be a great boon for electrical technicians who has to climb the pole in order to carry our repair works related to power transmission lines, for climbing trees etc., in countries developing nations like India, Bangladesh, Srilanka etc. Initially we pair smart phone with Bluetooth module connected to embedded system which is part of the robot. Then using the graphical interface in android app we can give instructions to move up or down or to stop moving. These commands are received by Bluetooth module and give corresponding instructions to Arduino of the embedded system board, which, depending on the code in it drives the motor driver accordingly. In this work we explain in detail about the working of wireless control of motors, how the app developed using MIT appinventor, model of the pole climbing robot.
