Abstract: In this project we introduced the integration of ultrasonic and total foundation for walls and bridges geometry surveying system and a motion planning implementation. With the quick development of construction industry the construction quality is also extensively paid attention. This project concentrates mainly on the strength detection of the wall as well as the cracks in the wall. The removal of air from the suction cup is utilized to make the robot stick to the wall. It is similar to suction cup where vacuum pressure of a particular amount of area moderately gets exhausted by an air pump. The robot can automate tasks in a cost effective manner which are done manually with an extra degreed of human safety. The robots are required to have high maneuverability and expeditious attachment and detachment. The entire platform can find applications in angle bending and vibration alert for high rise buildings, sensing applications like weather monitoring station and moisture in the walls as well as bridges etc. It also has the ability of crossing obstacles, motion control function, effective/surveillance, wireless communication relevant to the effective situation and the ability to distinguish the obstacles avoider situation. Even though the design of the robot is uncomplicated, it will be able to climb porous surfaces. A wireless communication link is used for high performance robotic system. The results demonstrate the low maintenance cost system and also states that the production cost is comparatively very less than the actual production cost of the method used presently. The principle and design of the climbing robot is pneumatic based.
