Cromsci - a Climbing Robot with Multiple Sucking Chambers for Inspection Tasks
نویسنده
چکیده
The non-destructive inspection of large concrete walls via robotic systems is no longer an unsolved problem. This paper will present first results with the climbing prototype Cromsci which uses a vacuum system of seven controllable vacuum chambers and an omnidirectional drive to move and cling to vertical concrete surfaces. This platform is able to move and inspect vertical surfaces safely, fast and cost-efficient. The technician can check the building more safe without any telescopic crane or other complex access devices via remote control or semi-autonomously.

Behavior-based Obstacle Detection and Avoidance System for the Omnidirectional Wall-climbing Robot Cromsci
Large vertical concrete structures are still a great challenge for autonomous climbing robots, which should be able to perform different service tasks like inspection or coating of the rough surface. With the behavior-based obstacle avoidance system of our robot Cromsci this paper presents a step towards such an autonomous climbing system. Main problems arise from a limited payload for environm...
متن کاملCROMSCI: development of a climbing robot with negative pressure adhesion for inspections
The non-destructive inspection of large concrete walls with autonomous systems is still an unsolved problem. One of the main difficulties is to develop a very flexible platform, which is able to move and inspect horizontal and vertical surfaces safely, fast and cost-efficient. This report will present the climbing robot Cromsci which is designed for the described task. The propulsion system con...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Sealing System for a Climbing Robot with Negative Pressure Adhesion
The non-destructive inspection of large concrete walls is still an unsolved problem. One possible technique is to use driven wheels for the propulsion and a vacuum system for the adhesion. The seals for the vacuum chambers are slipping over the rough surface, therefore it is not guaranteed that the chambers are always airproof. Especially over concrete walls a special seal construction must be ...
متن کاملRisk Prediction of a Behavior-based Adhesion Control Network for Online Safety Analysis of Wall-climbing Robots
Risk analysis in combination with terrain classification is a common approach in mobile robotics to adapt robot control to surface conditions. But for climbing robots it is hard to specify, how the robotic system and especially the adhesion is affected by different surfaces and environmental features. This paper will introduce the climbing robot CROMSCI using negative pressure adhesion via mult...
متن کاملForce and Traction Controlled Propulsion of the Omnidirectional Wheeled Climbing Robot Cromsci
Climbing on vertical concrete structures like bridge pylons or dams is still a great challenge for autonomous robots. This paper presents the forceand traction control system of the climbing robot Cromsci which uses a negative pressure system for adhesion and driven wheels for propulsion. Especially in vertical environments the propulsion system must be able to produce enough force for carrying...
