Abstract

This project describes the concept, design and prototype implementation of a wheeled pole-climbing-robot based on Ferromagnetic adhesion. Pole climbing robots have become an interesting area for research in the last years. Several robots have been developed to solve this given problem. Every construction has its own advantages and disadvantages. The goal of this work was to design another pole climbing robot that uses a ferromagnetic adhesion principle. It was not the forceful goal to create a fully optimized working robot but rather to learn the design and construction steps, which are needed for a new product from the engineering point ofview.
