Wall Climbing Glass Cleaner Robot

Abstract

This project aims to develop a cost-effective and easy-to-manufacture wall-climbing cleaning robot for high-rise building maintenance, where human intervention can be hazardous. The propeller thrust method was used to enable the robot to stick to vertical surfaces. A precise calculation was performed to generate enough force to attach the robot's entire body to the wall during the climbing operation. The robot's rubber wheel friction coefficient was calculated experimentally on a whiteboard. The robot's programming code is a critical component that needs to be accurately developed for proper functioning. A customized cleaning mechanism was built for this robot, and the chassis' material selection was based on stress and deformation calculations. The robot's overall weight distribution and component configurations were also taken into account to maintain its stability and efficient functioning. Although this project is still in its early stages, further research and development can enhance the robot's capabilities and efficiency.
