A Pressing Attachment Approach for a Wall-Climbing Robot Utilizing Passive Suction Cups

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 imp...
