Abstract

The paper proposes a multi-mode wall-climbing robot, for the requirements of bridge detection, disaster search and rescue. Firstly, according to the biomimetic mechanism, the claw wheels, adhesive tracks and eddy vacuum fans are designed respectively. With these bionic structures the robot can climb on a variety of complex walls. Secondly, by virtue of the spatial layout characteristics of the mechanical structure of the robot, the unconventional shaped control circuit board of the BLDC motor is designed independently. At the same time, due to different wall roughness, the robot will not move stably, then the speed of the motor needs to be adjusted in real time. Therefore, the double-closed loop control system of BLDC motor has been designed, which is simulated and analyzed based on SIMULINK. The results show that the designed control system has excellent dynamic performance and steady-state performance, meeting the working requirements of wall-climbing robots on various wall surfaces.
