Abstract

In the current era of robotic world, various types of spider robots for various purposes are being developed. The objective of this project is to develop a reliable robot to walk over vertical glass surface. This type of robots can be used very efficiently to clean glasses of big buildings which were build using glass surfaces. In this paper, an algorithm is proposed to make four-legged robot to walk in various directions and also to scan full surface based on the coordinates passed to the robot, in order to clean the full glass surface. This also consist of IoT device to send the single to operator to monitor the movements and radar to detect any object. Since this robot is to walk over the vertical glass surface, integration of vacuum suction holds to the algorithm is a new and challenging part of this project.
