Pole Climbing Robot (PCR) is a less developed type of robot, but recently received increased attention due to its potential in various fields. PCR could replace human labor in a work that require physical reach in a difficult and dangerous structure. This work present a development of an efficient and highly mobile step by step climbing based PCR. The development process started by making a conceptual design of PCR, and conducting a physical analysis of that design. A control system, movement mechanism, and other parts was then developed based on this analysis. Raspberry pi type A+, a single board computer, was used as the center of the control system. A working PCR prototype was then built using these parts. This prototype has been tested and successfully ascend a 30 degrees tilted pole with 6 cm diameter and descend the same pole tilted as far as 45 degrees.
