Maintenance Robot System with Modular Climbing Mechanism

Modular Climbing Maintenance Robot System with Universal Connector-Based Mobility Module Exchange

This technology is a maintenance robot system featuring a modular climbing mechanism that connects the robot's main body to a climbing mobility module via a universal connector, allowing the mobility module to be swapped according to the work environment.

Conventional technology relies on climbing mechanisms fixed to the complex exterior structures of high-rise buildings, leading to cost inefficiencies as it requires developing separate robots or maintaining a large fleet of robots tailored to specific building characteristics.

This technology utilizes a detachable universal connector between the main body and the climbing module, enabling the use of various interchangeable mobility modules such as legged, wheeled, or tracked types, with an auxiliary control unit that automatically recognizes the swapped module. Applicable to exterior cleaning, painting, and facility inspection, it eliminates the need to develop new robots for each building, significantly reducing implementation costs.

Key Features:

• A work module for performing maintenance tasks such as exterior building cleaning, and the robot main body to which it is attached.
• A universal connector fixed to the connection point on the main body, serving as the interface for connecting to the climbing module.
• A climbing module selected based on the building's exterior structure and designed for interchangeable connection to the universal connector.
• A connector structure that integrates the gear drive shaft for power transmission with pneumatic, power, and control signal connections.
