VertiGo is a wall-climbing robot created by Disney Research and ETH Zürich that can transition between ground and wall.

The robot can move on a wall quickly and with agility.

VertiGo has four wheels, two tiltable propellers, and two tiltable propellers.

One pair of wheels is steerable, and each propeller has two degrees of freedom for adjusting the direction of thrust.

The choice of two propellers rather than one enables a floor-to-wall transition, thrust is applied both towards the wall using the rear propeller and in an upward direction using the front propeller, resulting in a flip onto the wall.
