Teleoperated climbing mobile robot through aerodynamic adhesion mechanism for surveillance

Abstract

This thesis that was developed employs an adhesion mechanism using a vacuum chamber composing of brushless motor and ducted fan in performing vertical navigation. The robot is wirelessly controlled by a user using a personal computer. The robots navigation is dependent to the users command by means of Zigbee transmission at 2.4 GHz through a Graphical User Interface (GUI). The robot is controlled using a microcontroller, specifically the PIC16F1939. The application of the robot is inspection and surveillance thus it makes used of a camera for the said applications that is also wirelessly communicating with the user with the use of a camera transmitter. The image is shown in the Graphical User Interface (GUI). The image can be taken as a snapshot or can be recorded for surveillance and inspection purposes. The robot has also adaptive algorithm using fuzzy logic controller
