Abstract: In modern world, robots are employed in every possible place. It is especially used in major fields like defense, surveillance activities, transportation and in many other places. This paper is prepared basically on building a robot with a capability to climb stairs carrying ten kilogram of weight in addition to its own weight. This paper represents the structure, construction and possible applications of a stair climbing robot. People find it difficult move loads from one place to another. Vehicle with wheels can help them to move in a plane surface. It requires immense strength to make it move in an inclined plane and makes it useless in case of stair case. In this project, an attempt has been initiated to design and construct a stair climbing load carrier. Stair climbing load carrier is a +mobile robot which can be operated to carry loads in different terrains. It can help in smooth and safe transition especially in stairs. This can be utilized to carry loads up to a specific weight in inclined surfaces or stairs. The size of the device is compact. It can render its contribution for portable work. It can be used for transportation of material. It is completely made by mild steel making it light weight and also makes it is easy to carry.
