“…In recent years, wall climbing robots have been used in steel wall inspection, glass curtain wall cleaning, and other applications (Lei et al, 2023;Shigenori et al, 2021;Weiping, 2005). Depending on the adsorption mode, the adsorption methods can be grouped into the following categories: magnetic adsorption, vacuum adsorption, adhesion material adsorption, and reaction force adsorption (Xianyu and Hualun, 2018).…”

There is a problem of insufficient adsorption capacity of the wall-climbing robot on the steel wall during its movement. The paper designs a magnetically adsorbed wall-climbing robot with triangular track wheels, which includes a walking structure, a drive structure, and a magnetically adsorbed structure. Firstly, the robot was designed using 3D mapping software to determine a triangular crawler wheel travel and permanent magnet adsorption solution. The mechanical model of the wall climbing robot on a steel wall is then analyzed statically to obtain the minimum adsorption force to be adsorbed on the steel wall. Finally, the magnet structure is analyzed by ANSYS magnetic simulation software to optimize the structure of the permanent magnet and design the most suitable height of the magnetic track wheel, providing a reference for the design and optimization of the permanent magnet adsorption structure of the wall climbing robot.

The ceiling serves as an ideal location for robots to handle transportation tasks, as it ensures minimal interference between automated guided vehicles (AGV) and human activities. A previous study developed a ceiling mobile robot called HanGrawler 2. It can travel at a high speed of 1.0 m/s to compete with ground vehicles. However, it occasionally fails during high-speed travel. This study aims to improve the reliability of starting, accelerating, and traveling at high speed. Optical motion capture is used to observe the crawler behavior of HanGrawler 2. The observation of the crawler behavior revealed that the crawler moves on an inflated trajectory during the high-speed movement. In addition, the experimental results show that the collision is not caused by the inflation, but by the push-in timing. The reliability of high-speed travel was improved by installing an encoder and optimizing the push-in timing in accordance with speed fluctuations.
