Abstract
This paper presents the method for enabling an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to attach on walls and ceilings. Recently UAVs are expected to utilize for gathering information and work at high altitude. However, continuous flying consumes a lot of energy. Therefore attaching to wall and ceiling is effective function for saving energy. We developed a hybrid suction cup combined with a sucking disc and a sheet of gel. It can generate both the adhesion and the absorption, which allows UAV to attach on wall, plaster board, tile and so on. However, it is also necessary to tear off gel in order to leave from the attached surface. So we added an actuator named Release Balloon for desorption. Then we verify the effectiveness of our method through experiment.
