Abstract

A Pole climbing robot is a robot that can climb a pole without using external control to control the robot’s movement. Pole climbing robots can accomplish many tasks such as trimming a tree, wiring and repairing distribution lines. In this project, a pole climbing robot is built to climb a pole, which is 1 m in height. The robot needs to use grippers to climb to the highest end of the pole and then climb back to the ground. A microcontroller such as Arduino Mega 2560 is used to analyze and control the movement of the robot. Electrical components such as 12 V high torque motors, 12 V linear actuator, and L298N motor drivers are used to provide sufficient force for the robot to climb up or climb down the pole. Software such as Arduino IDE is used to program the microcontroller so that the programmer can adjust the movement of the robot. Finally, the robot is tested by climbing a P.V.C. pipe, which is 1 m in height. The average speed of the robot is 1.437 cm/s, which is moderate, but it completes its task.KeywordsPole climbing robotGripperArduino
