To develop and evaluate a modular biped wall-climbing robot capable of agile locomotion and object manipulation for high-rise maintenance tasks.
Constructed a modular robotic architecture comprising five serial joint modules and two terminal suction modules inspired by inchworm locomotion.
Formulated suction force models, climbing gaits, obstacle-clearing sequences, and inter-wall transition mechanics.
Conducted physical validation experiments assessing vertical climbing mobility, surface transitions, and object manipulation tasks.
Demonstrated functional bipedal climbing and mobility across smooth vertical walls, including successful transitions between adjacent wall surfaces.
Achieved obstacle negotiation and object manipulation using terminal suction modules as end-effectors in a mobile manipulator configuration.
