Abstract
The rapid development of wall-climbing robots, wall crawling robots have received great attention from all walks of life and have been widely used in many fields. Through the analysis of the existing wall climbing robots related applications, the wall climbing robots are divided into crawler, wheeled, foot and hybrid according to the moving mode, and the wall climbing robots with different moving modes are reviewed through the literature research method; the wall climbing robots with different adsorption modes such as vacuum adsorption, magnetic adsorption, and special adsorption are compared, and the current status of research on the wall climbing robot's self-adaptive technology and the existing problems are introduced, and it summarizes and analyzes the development trend of wall-climbing robots in industry, military and other fields, analyzes the characteristics of different adsorption methods of wall-climbing robots, and summarizes and predicts the development direction of wall-climbing robots.
Keywords: Wall-climbing robot, mobility mode, adsorption mode, development trend
