Study on sensors using in wall climbing robot for motion controller

The storage tank anticorrosion quality seeming to be particularly important with the rapid development of the domestic oil. This design is used to detect the coating´s thickness of storage tanks, PC and the console computer control the wall-climbing robot´s motion. The goal of this paper is to work on study of sensors using in wall climbing robot for motion controller, which include IR detector sensor and Ultrasonic PING Sensor. The system design includes hardware and software systems: the hardware control panel using STC12C5A60S2 master chip, receive the host computer´s instructions, drive wall-climbing robot to walk; the host computer´s software system is developed by Visual C# and the consol computer´s software is developed by Keil C. Ultimately it achieves coating thickness of the oil storage tank.
