VHST on the ceiling

ABSTRACT
In the applications such as surveillance of sites,
inspections of buildings, nuclear vessels, etc. where
sending human beings might be difficult and more
importantly dangerous, alternate solutions should be
considered. Under these circumstances, wall climbing
robots, are proven to be the best solution. However most
wall climbing robots that exist today are robots that work
on surface specific principles; as a result one robot can
not easily be used for more complex textured surfaces.
Hence, a successful attempt is made to design and
fabricate a wall climbing robot VHST (Vertical and
Horizontal Surface Traverser) which is cheap and has
versatile wall traversing abilities. Working principle,
model created in I-DEAS software, working model and
advantages of this robot over other robots of its family
are illustrated in this paper. Ability to traverse over
various textures, sufficient payload capacity and cheaper
technology, are the notable features of this robot.

@swapnil17may The robot weighs about 900gms, and it creates enough suction to support 2kgs.
