Mechanism and control of propeller type wall-climbing robot

Abstract

Use of a wall-climbing robot for rescue or fire-fighting has been anticipated for a longtime. Four quite different models have been developed in the authors' laboratory. The present model can move on a wall by using the thrust force of a propeller and can fly whenever it is required. Its mechanism and control system are discussed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
