In this paper the main aim is to develop the prototype of wall climbing robot with thecentrifugal impeller based adhesion system and four wheeled locomotion system which can move overthe vertical wall surfaces as well as ceiling surfaces. Centrifugal impeller creates the low pressurevacuum and adhere the robot on the wall surfaces without any perfect sealing. Four wheeled locomotionsystem requires stability and weight distribution equally on each wheel. Equally weight distribution oneach wheel gives proper traction over the vertical wall surfaces as well as ceiling surfaces. Stability offour wheeled wall climbing robot requires dynamic analysis for that reaction forces on each wheel,centrifugal forces and gyroscopic effect is analyzed. Actual prototype model is developed and testedexperimentally on the wall & ceiling surfaces with the help of centrifugal impeller type adhesion systemand four wheeled locomotion system.
