Production of a Wall-climbing-type Quadrotor and Its Experiment for Verifying Basic Operations

A wall-climbing-type Quadrotor, which can make a hammering test as well as a visual inspection, is proposed in this research. Such a wall-climbing-type Quadrotor can realize the movement on a wall in addition to the flight movement. It is thought that a hammering test can be feasible, because a translational movement can be achieved by a wall-run operation, keeping a check appliance contact with the wall. In this paper, the design and production of a wall-climbing-type Quadrotor is first described and then some operational experiments are conducted to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed UAV.
