Abstract :
An intelligent wall-climbing robot is described. Its pneumatic drive system gives good power-to-weight ratio while the construction is based on versatile modules. With a hierarchical distributed computer controller, the system can readily be reconfigured for specific tasks. Details of the construction and the locomotion algorithms are given
