Abstract;A wall-driving robot was developed in 1994 in our laboratory, and it could move on a vertical wall by using thrust force of two propellers and wheels. This model is easily controlled on a flat wall,but was difficult to use on an irregular wall. To solve this problem,the mechanism of wall-climbing of this type was simulated on a computer, and particular attention was paid to and maneuverability in the movement of this robot. A test model is manufactured and the experiments confirm that the model can move on an irregular wall by using a computer-aided control system. (author abst.)
