Abstract :
A new type of wall climbing robot to clean window is proposed in this paper. The developed robot can climb the vertical pane by rotating a crawler that has general purpose suckers. The robot can climb more simply and safely than other methods because it uses a simple mechanism. As the result of the experiments, it is confirmed that the developed robot can move on the wall. This paper gives motivation of this development, the details of the system, the experimental result and conclusions.
