A multi-disciplinary robotics team at the City College of New York has developed a new generation wall-climbing robot named as City-Climber, which can operate on both smooth and rough surfaces and carry relatively large payload. This paper presents the adhesion mechanism and aerodynamic analysis of City-Climber robots using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation tool. The simulation results...
The video presents recent progress of the wall-climbing robot project at the City College of New York. The robots are named as City-Climbers which adopt a novel adhesive mechanism based on aerodynamic attraction to achieve good balance between strong adhesion force and high mobility. The video demonstrates that the City-Climber robots can operate on virtually any kind of smooth or rough surfaces and...
