Abstract
An autonomous cleaning robot is proposed so as to move on all floors including stairs in a building. In human living environments, it is often the case that the cleaning area is a three-dimensional space such as a high-rise building. However, many of cleaning robots cannot clean and move on stairs, because they are not considered to move on places between floors. The proposed cleaning robot possesses L-shaped legs on the both sides of the body frame of a rectangular solid. The robot climbs down stairs by rotating the body so that the top and bottom sides of it may be reversed using L-shaped legs. In this paper, the mechanism and its control method are described for translational movement on stairs.
