Title
A Wall Climbing Robot Arm Capable Of Adapting To Multiple Contact Wall Surfaces
Abstract
The wall climbing robot is widely used in a great many fields. There are more and more technical requirements for wall-climbing robots, such as better load, more stability and adapt to multiple environments. This paper studies a composite wall climbing robot palm for a wall climbing robot to adopt multiple environments. The palm consists of a suction cup, five hooks, and bionic setae array materials. The body of the palm is produced by 3D printing and the bionic materials are fabricated by polymer print lithography technology inspired by the gecko. The edge of the suction cup has cured a circle of bionic setae array materials to enhance the adhesion force. The bionic setae array materials on the palm for better adapt to the smooth surface and the hooks are used to attach on the rough surface. The composite palm is well tested in smooth, wet and rough surfaces. Moreover, the composite palm is fixed on the arm of the wall climbing robot. The arm of the wall climbing robot is proposed by a new type of gear transmission system.
