Windmill Climbing Robot

Having the windmill main components at the top of its high tower made its maintenance a very risky job for workers, and with an increase of use of wind turbines, the risk of accidents occurring is proportionally increasing too. For this, engineers started working on climbing robots and mechanisms to replace risking human lives. This research works on adding to this research topic, by proposing a full study of a new mechanism enhanced with calculations and modeling for it to be applicable and reliable. The proposed robot mechanism can circumference the tower of the wind mill and climb upwards through means of rubber chains.
