1A1-V07 Aerial robot with manipulation function : 6th Report: Automatic attaching function for wall and ceiling

Abstract

This paper describes method for attaching to wall and ceiling using UAV. Recently UAVs are expected to utilize for information gathering and work at high altitude. However, continuous flying expends a huge amount of energy. Therefore attaching to wall and ceiling is effective function for saving energy. We propose pressure responsive variable flow restrictor and approach control for stable vacuum contact. Then we show the effectiveness of our method through experiment.
