The robot has the ability to perform surveillance using a camera mounted on top of the robot. The quality of the Transmitted video from the camera to the computer is clear and stable. Hence the developed robot is a good choice for surveillance purposes. In addition, it can be used to traverse floors of a building. It uses an IR sensor to sense strips attached at each floor. Once the strips are sensed, a dropping mechanism is activated in which a specific object is dropped to the targeted floor or location. The robot can work in automatic mode or manual through RF signals from an RF transmitter. But this robot is not so cost effective as it requires use of expensive HD cameras, and other sensors. |

The robot uses a pair of identical four bar mechanisms, with 180º phase shift. The robot has two inverted L-shaped legs on the front side and a supporting pulley on the rear, using these it traverses across the rope. Hence, the design structure and complexity is less than the four-legged robots. Kinematic modeling is done using “Linkage” software and the desired coupler curve is obtained after simulation. The robot's mechanism is built using customized acrylic linkages and the body by using foam board. The input crank in the four bar mechanism is driven by a geared DC motor. The Robot’s movement is controlled wirelessly by TX2/RX2 radio frequency module |

Four legged walking robot that dosent need any eletronics.it requires a steady source of pressurized air for all operations including its controls and motion system.This robot is regulated by a light weight ,made up of pipes and light valves.it can move in response to commands or signals it senses from the surroundings.the robot is outfitted with three valves operating as inverters.it the 4 legs consist of 3 degrees of freedom pushed by three muscles,combined with cylindrical containers and bellows when container is pressurised limb turns in reverse direction.light wave changes the direction of revolution of limbs in clock and anti clockwise.the switch consists of 2 inputs and 4 outputs.therefore every input consists of 2 identical outputs. |

This project introduces a new and effective approach for rope climbing robot.In This robot, only 1 DC motor and 2 servo motors are needed for the major task,which is the climbing operation.This System, in general, is easy to build and to control. The system had been used for rope climbing competition for robotic competition and the result in the competition was encouraging.This Presented robot design used a total of 20 seconds to accomplish both task 1 and task 2. In the future,some studies on possible improvement such as adding PID controller to the control system, could be done in order to preserve the stability of the robot mechanism apart from increasing the linear with high speed performance in the rope climbing operation |

The robots moving on a rope are an interesting domain with research potential and various applications.The rope climbing robot uses wheels powered by the DC motors for climbing the vertical rope.It can traverse horizontal ropes as well.The springs attached to the wheels are used for passive clinging of the robot to the rope.The stiffness of the spring was calculated on the basis of the payload and the motion capabilities of the robot. The proposed design gives two degrees of freedom (DOF) to the robot,i.e.translation and rotation about the rope. The power required for climbing at differeninclinationsisreported.Thedesignproposedhereislowcost,easy to build,and control.USES:It can be useful for surveillance purposes, for delivering help in disaster situations, inspection of cable suspension bridges,power plant chimneys,and cooling towers. |

In this paper we have developed a robot capable of rope climbing in both horizontal and vertical direction.Furthermore the robot has the ability to perform surveillance using a camera mounted on top of the robot.The quality of the transmitted video from the camera to the computer is clear and stable.Hence the developed robot is a good choice for surveillance purposes.In addition it can be used to traverse floors of a building.It uses an IR sensor to sense strips attached at each floor. Once the strips are sensed,a dropping mechanism is activated in which a specific object is dropped to the targeted floor or location.The robot can work in automatic mode or manual through RFsignals from an RFtransmitter.Finally the robot is cost effective compared to many other developed robots for rope climbing. |
