Fluid Model of Sliding Suction Cup of Wall-climbing Robots

The adhering capability, one of the most important performance indexes of wall-climbing robots(WCRs), should be taken into account when a WCR is designed. This paper proposes a novel approach for investigating the adhering characteristics of the sliding suction cup (SSCs) using fluid network theory...
