In this paper, we propose an autonomous patrol robot moving on the ceiling using the balloon buoyancy. Recently, flying robots are applied for the surveillance task. In the flying robots, the balloon robot has some advantage in terms of quietness and energy efficiency. However, if the robot stay in the air, it always have to control the altitude using fans. We propose a balloon robot moving on the ceiling. It can stay the ceiling if it switch the power down. We explain the system of the robot, and indicate the design guideline of the robot. Furthermore, we developed the robot according the guideline and confirm the feasibility of the proposed balloon robot.
