The main design characteristics considered were, low power consumption and high payload capabilities. Klinbot is able to perform several tasks such as surveillance, monitoring and cleaning by using passive suction cups as adhering components coupled with solenoid valves, and three electrical actuators, that enable the robot to perform translation and rotation on a flat surface such as a window or a mirror. The study presented in this paper discusses the mechanical and electronic design of the proposed glass-climbing robot.
