Problem statement: The problem of a wall climbing robot is holding on the wall. This is challenge for researchers. There are many factors, which effect in holding, all forces, robot movement and mechanical design. Approach: This study proposed movement step design for wallclimbing robot. In design the robot use pneumatic system as ain unit to move on the wall. The robot can move in four directions, forward, backward, left and rig ht. Results: We analyzed force acting with the wall that the wall should have only slope from 0° (paral lel with the ground) to 90° (vertical line). At equilibrium condition, we expressed all forces in e quilibrium by sum all forces that equal zero. Conclusion: We can choose parameter to improve the climbing ef fici ncy that the robot can climb much slope. For the first way, we can change the wa ll m terial to increase μs and for the second way, we can improve vacuum force by means of increasing pneumatic system efficiency.
