Abstract
Throughout the history of robot development, most of the subjects are based on wheeled mobile robots and are moving on the floor. In this paper, a different kind of robot design, rope climbing robot, will be discussed. It is a robot that climbs along a rope and therefore can move across the space through the rope. This robot needs only a DC motor and two servo motors for the climbing operation. The advantages of the proposed robot are low energy consumption, low cost, easy to control and build. This research is focused on the mechanical design and implementation of the robot. During the development stage, this proposed robot design was tested with 2 tasks and had been used in a rope climbing competition for a robotic competition in Malaysia. The result of the competition was very encouraging and proved that the robot design is applicable. This rope climbing robot can be applied to transport goods in a factory or transport casualty in rescue operation.
