The question
How can a wall-moving system stay attached while moving smoothly?
Exploration
The portfolio includes comparisons of existing approaches, structural sketches, a proposed internal mechanism, circuit and code images, and scenario renders. The design explores vacuum adhesion and omnidirectional movement; their performance remains to be tested.
Comparing structure and movement
The structural proposal brings adhesion and movement into the same object. I compared possible approaches, while keeping the trade-off between secure attachment and smooth movement in view.
What I did
I compared different adhesion and movement approaches and developed an initial structural concept.
Where it stands
I am still evaluating implementation paths. Wall adhesion, movement, and cleaning performance have not been established through the supplied evidence.
What I am learning
Secure adhesion and smooth movement involve a trade-off. Small-scale experiments are needed; drawings alone cannot establish whether the system will work.
Next question
Use small-scale experiments to examine adhesion and movement before considering a larger system.
