“…To ensure that the robot can be stably adsorbed on the glass surface, it is necessary to ensure that the adhesion force lies in a reasonable working range. Regarding the vacuum adhesion method, the most commonly used method is to measure the pressure inside the suction cup with embedded barometer sensor to ensure that the pressure value is always maintained in a stable range to prevent the robot from falling off [57], [129]. For the magnetic adhesion method, to ensure the stability of the magnetic force, Beak et al have adjusted the magnetic force between the internal and external devices by changing the relative distance to ensure a stable adhesion [130].…”

Maintaining a clean living and working environment is an important means to ensure people's quality of life. As the height of the building increases, the traditional method of cleaning windows by human workers not only takes a long time, but also brings the risk of falling off. It is necessary to replace human workers with robots for carrying out such heavy-duty and dangerous work. Various window-cleaning robots have been applied in cleaning work for certain actual scenarios. In this paper, the state-of-the-art survey of recent developments on window-cleaning robots is presented. The applications of window-cleaning robots in two main domains of domestic use and high-rise building environments are presented and the corresponding technical requirements are summarized. Afterward, the main techniques of window-cleaning robot development including locomotion mechanisms, adhesion mechanisms, cleaning mechanisms, and sensor and controller units are reviewed in detail. The survey provides a reference for the readers to design and develop a window-cleaning robot for specific application.INDEX TERMS Window-cleaning robot, automated machine, locomotion mechanism, adhesion mechanism, cleaning mechanism, sensor and controller.

“…Each of the examined social robots has unique behaviours that change according to their usage areas. Some of these robots behave as companions at home and help people in their daily routine work, such as NAO (Cao et al, 2018), Travis (Birnbaum et al, 2016), Zenbo (Chen et al, 2018), Jibo (Guizzo, 2016), Robovie (Kahn et al, 2008) domestic robots (Xiong et al, 2009), Maggie (Salichs et al, 2006), a small window-cleaning robot (Liu et al, 2009), Buddy (Potnuru et al, 2016), Reem-B (Téllez et al, 2008) and ASIMO (Okita et al, 2009). Some of them look like toys and tell stories, recognize other people, communicate and play games.…”

Social robots are in direct communication and interaction with people, thus it is important to design these robots for different needs of individuals or small groups. This has revealed the need to develop design methods for personalized or mass-individualized social robots, which are expected to respond to many different needs of people today and in the future. In this paper, a previously developed 3D DSM model is implemented in the systematic conceptual design of social robot families. The model is independent of any physical elements and based on behavioural elements as perception, cognition and motoric action. The data regarding 45 different social robots from 80 articles in the literature is used to identify these three behaviours of the existing social robots and the mutual relationships among these different behaviours are defined in order to develop a 3D DSM structure to be used as a basis for designing social robot families. The resulting novel 3D DSM is a general-purpose, basic model that can be used to identify behavioural modules to design social robot families.

“…The typical method for available wall-climbing robots use suction cups to create adhesion to some surfaces [5]. Suction cups work only on smooth surfaces, and magnetic wheel versions work only on ferromagnetic walls.…”

Miniature robots have the ability to mimic motion of animals such as walking, rolling, climbing, jumping and flying techniques. The micro-robots are used mainly to manipulate objects, survey areas that are inaccessible, risky to operators such as building or offshore structure for cracks and damage. In this paper, a robot with climbing ability is designed and built for vertical structure inspection which requires moving on corners. The proposed robot using an electro-adhesion method is able to transit from floor to vertical wall while performing wallclimbing. In-house built electroadhesive for the climbing robot is tested and has shown some good results in adhesion during the tests.
