BIGGALO Wall Climbing Robot

Recent biological findings indicate that a number of fast climbing
animals (in particular the gecko and cockroach) climb in a dynamically
similar manner. Despite their different morphologies, limb number,
and attachment mechanisms both of these animals undulate laterally
with significant in pulling forces. These findings have prompted
a proposed template for dyanmic vertical climbing.

The robot uses a common principle to climb; which is to create
a negative force to stick the robot to the wall. This is achieved using
3 sliding suction cups, with the suction created by centrifugal pumps
driven by high speed air motors. The key advantage of this
technique is that expelling water creates a thrust force when the
system is not touching the wall. The force pushes the robot
towards the wall till the suction cup becomes attached to the wall.
