Development of a Wall Moving Mini-Robot Using Adhesive Method.

摘要

This paper provides a wall moving mini-robot using adhesive method. In this paper, we use the ‘mini-robot’ as a kind of micro-robot larger than 10[mm] cube but smaller than 100[mm] cube, A mini-robot should have the ability of moving along the obstacles because of its size. Wall moving is the first step to pass along the obstacles. Considering the scale factor, we propose the adhesive method for wall moving of a mini-robot. While moving on a wall, the adhesion force of the adhesive that has been painted to the wall is used to support the mini-robot.
