This paper proposes a pressing method for wall-climbing robots to prevent them from falling. In order to realize the method, the properties of the utilized suction cup are studied experimentally. Then based on the results, a guide rail is designed to distribute the attached suction cup force and implement the pressing method. A prototype of a wall-climbing robot that utilizes passive suction cups and one motor is used to demonstrate the proposed method. An experimental test-bed is designed to measure the force changes of the suction cup when the robot climbs upwards. The experimental results validate that the suction cup can completely attach to the surface by the proposed method, and demonstrate that the robot can climb upwards without falling.

Aiming at the cleaning operation of high-rise building glass wall, a novel pneumatic wall-climbing robot was developed. According to the configuration and the characteristics analysis on the robot, the kinematics equations were derived and PWM / PFM algorithm was proposed based on PID control. The simulation results show that the motion and control for the robot has advantages of fast speed , flexible movement, strong obstacle avoidance ability and simple control features, and so on.
