In this paper, we describe a new design of a robotic system having two arms that is suitable of motion in uneven surfaces as well as climbing ladders. Ladder climbing is an essential mode of locomotion for navigating industrial environments and conducting maintenance tasks in buildings, trees and other man-made structures. The motion of robot is mapped by hand movements. An arduino board is used to control the whole operation. It collects data from the controller and sends it to the robot (wireless communication). The final product is an autonomous robot that is able to climb the ladder successfully.
