  • Abstract:
  • This paper presents the design and development of a Wall Climbing Robot for Cleaning, integrating an innovative propeller-based thrust mechanism with a wheeled chassis for seamless mobility on both vertical and horizontal surfaces. The hybrid design optimizes thrust force and energy consumption, addressing the limitations of traditional suction-based wall-climbing robots. The system uses N20 gear motors for precise movement and a BLDC motor to generate thrust, achieving a stable ascent on vertical surfaces. The robot's chassis, constructed from lightweight aluminum, enhances durability and heat dissipation while maintaining a total mass of 652 grams. The proposed solution demonstrates a thrust force of 8.99 N, sufficient for adhering to vertical surfaces under various conditions. The robot's efficient design makes it suitable for tasks such as cleaning, maintenance, and inspection in environments where human intervention is risky or impractical. Future developments will focus on improving battery efficiency, adding a more adaptable cleaning mechanism, and integrating autonomous controls for enhanced performance.
