Project Description
An existing miniaturized wall-climbing robot uses two motors and powered suction cups to walk on surfaces at angles up to about 70 degrees. Objective is to develop a new robot that incorporates sensors to detect and avoid objects while performing such climbing, so it does not try to attach a suction cup to a raised feature or edge, and does not run into projections on the surface. Goal is a product to sell to schools for K-12 use, so it must be inexpensive, rugged and reliable.
