Glass-Cleaning Robot That Scales Walls

Abstract

For the purpose of high-rise building maintenance, where human intervention can be dangerous, this project proposes to design a cheap and easy-to-manufacture wall-climbing cleaning robot. The robot is able to cling to vertical surfaces thanks to the propeller thrust mechanism. During the climbing process, the robot's complete body was attached to the wall using a calculated amount of force. The friction coefficient of the rubber wheels on the robot was determined experimentally on a whiteboard. The code used to control the robot is essential to its operation and must be created with precision. The chassis material was chosen based on stress and deformation predictions, and a bespoke cleaning mechanism was developed for this robot. Consideration was also given to the robot's total weight distribution and the configurations of its components to ensure its continued stability and optimal performance. The capabilities and effectiveness of the robot can be improved by additional study and development, despite the fact that the project is still in its infancy.
