A robotic device for providing vertical mobility has a payload is disposed inside a central compartment and supported by a skid. The skid can move up and down through latch and hook pairs to keep intimate contact with the surface and cross over bumps. The apparatus uses a flexible seal to create a reliable vacuum chamber. The flexible seal comprises a foam ring inside fabric pocket. A plurality of rod and spring strips are configured to apply a downward force to the flexible seal to conform with surface curvatures. The fabric pocket fills in the gaps or seams to maintain a vacuum. The air flows inside a manifold and passes through a filter to avoid debris from damaging the vacuum motor assembly.

A method for cleaning a wall body with a UAV includes obtaining a path to be cleaned; flying to a region to be cleaned according to the path to be cleaned; recognizing a wall surface in the region to be cleaned; and using a cleaning device carried by the UAV to clean the wall surface.

A robotic cleaning apparatus for exterior glass walls of high-rises that includes a chassis, a cleaning subsystem, telescopic legs, and an operating system. The legs are connected to the chassis in an axial or articular connection, designed to rotate, to be shortened and lengthened, and equipped with hooks that are designed to be connected to rings that are fixed to vertical profiles of the glass walls. The rings correspond with the hooks and serve as anchors of the robotic cleaning apparatus to the glass walls. The operating system is designed to move to the telescopic legs according to a desired direction of progress of the robotic cleaning apparatus on the exterior glass walls in such a way that the hooks of the telescopic legs are connected to the nearby rings that are fixed to the exterior glass wall.
