- Abstract
- The paper presents some design and control aspects of an autonomous mobile robot, which moves on horizontal and vertical surfaces using an electro-pneumatically vacuum cups attachment system. The original robot construction, developed as a cleaning robot, includes two triangular platforms that provide a light weight. The system modelling and simulation were performed by means of SolidWorks-Cosmos Motion software package. The control is obtained with the motion data acquisition board 7344 from National Instruments and LabView programming support.
