Study of pneumatic glass-wall cleaning robots

Abstract

Through the analysis of glass-wall cleaning robots research status at home and abroad, based on cleaning characteristics and requirements of such kind of smooth surface, a kind of pneumatic glass-wall cleaning robot is presented here. The robot which adopts unique three-position cylinder driving technique and embedded control system can crawl along the glass-wall and clean, and can overcome obstacles in a certain height. Running results show that the robot system has simple structure, low cost, the functions of on-line fault diagnosis, and can provide a new efficient, simple and safe way for the glass-wall cleaning.
