| Summary: | Climbing robots have a great significance in industrial and hazardous environments. Robots may replace humans in doing repetitive or heavy tasks and working in unsafe environments.
The focus of this research is developing a steel pole climbing robot with surveillance capability. The robot is composed of two appendages and two feet that has a wormlike motion. The feet are the ones attached to the pole while the appendages are responsible for the motion of the robot.
It utilizes four electromagnets, two for every foot. The intelligence of the robot comes from the microcontroller. Three microcontroller are used one for the infrared remote control, one for servo motor driver and the last one is the main controller. It consists of seven servo motors four for the robots body, two for the camera and one for the mechanical lock. The robot also utilized a wireless camera for surveillance. The camera's feed can be recorded as a still image or video and can be saved on the remote PC. The robot can be controlled via infrared remote control. |
