Abstract: Rope climbing robot is one of many kinds of mobile robots that can maneuver in the environment using a locomotion mechanism. Rope climbing robots can move over the rope/wire using a specially designed locomotion mechanism. The project aims to design and develop a rope climbing robot that can travel over the rope steadily and easily with inclination upto 45 degree. The robot has a facility to adjust the rope tension which may get lost over the period of time. A rope climbing robot can be used at places such as detecting faults in voltage transmission lines, to transfer any necessity during calamity or disaster from one place to another and record any event from various angles. The robot can inspect the wire rope at any height which is dangerous for humans to do.
