It is always difficult to create device that walk through vertical surface and replace human worker. Thisresearch article is focused on designing and development of wall climbing robot to helps people easy to inspection of theboiler shell etc. Major characteristics of interest of wall climbing robots are climbing speed, payload capacity; obstaclesovercome ability and transitioning capacity on other wall. A wall climbing robot is able to maneuver ascend and descendvarious horizontal and vertical surfaces. Wall climbing robot is having a chassis, suction pads, nozzles, actuators.Suction pads are provided for adhering to surface during climbing with robust support frame. Vacuum chamber isprovided to preserve vacuum during operations. Robot is capable to mount accessories like camera, temperaturedetector and various sensor and radio-control remote operation and wireless communication.
