Abstract: The problem I am trying to solve in this paper is changing the rust removal method before, improv-ing work efficiency. The approach I adopt to solve the problem is designing a control system for a robot that crawls on the surface of a steel wall, which adopted two stage distributed with host and slave computer. The control system is mainly composed of the lower computer's hardware circuit and the software control system of the host computer. The host computer carries out data communication through the wireless data module, thus controlling the servo motor as the driving force of the robot. The experimental results obtained in this re-search include finishing the rust removal and inspection of the robot steadily and efficiently.
