| Abstract | The purpose of this thesis is to develop a four legged wall climbing robot capable of climbing and navigating on smooth surfaces of various angle of inclination with the help of dry adhesives. The robot is inspired by the movement and motion of a Gecko lizard. The robot tries to mimic the climbing gait of the Gecko lizard.
The robot has an on-board microcontroller and batteries which allows semi-autonomous operations. Different viewpoints of working model plan and execution of the programs have been carried out. The end result was that the robot could scale slopes up to 85◦ and steer itself around. |
