Abstract
This paper studied a robot that allows the exploration platform used for ship surfaces and large steel structures to drive on the wall. Regarding the wall-driving robot, this study proposed a stable operating structure even with the rapid change in the slope of the ship's surface. Wheel-based operating methods are challenging to drive flexibly on curved surfaces. Therefore, the robot was designed to have a rotating joint in the center of the driving robot. The arrangement of wheels is an essential aspect of this structure. They must overlap each other so that the robot wheels can intersect when viewed from the side view. The wheel also serves as a tool to attach to the wall with a circular neodymium magnet. The necessary magnetic force was proposed based on the conditions identified through dynamic modeling. Important factors required for magnetic force setting include platform weight, the angle between the ground and slope, and friction coefficient. Based on the analysis results, the platform was not slid and remained attached to the steel sheet.
