  • Abstract
    During the process of detecting and rescue, the environment is complex for a climbing robot to negotiate. At this time, the Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (SUAV) is utilized to complete the rest task. However, some place is so sorrow that the SUAV cannot go through because of its weak anti-interference ability. In order to address this issue, we hope to combine the climbing robot and the SUAV. Here, we utilize the climbing robot to carry the SUAV, which make the whole climbing platform more practical and useful. In this paper, we design a landing platform on the climbing robot for a SUAV, which can load more than 3kg while sucking on the wall. And the SUAV can utilize this platform to take-off and land. We focus on landing platform structure design, centrifugal vacuum principle, characteristics of SUAV landing and auxiliary landing system. And the effectiveness of the proposed design is confirmed through experiments.
