This thesis is a concept design of a robot on the roof which is a mounting system for industrial collaborative robots to do roof jobs. The paper includes research about flat roof type, lifecycle, maintenance works, risks, and suitable robots for the tasks. The design process follows the Ullman design process with four phases: discovery, definition, conceptual design and evaluation. The expected outcome of the thesis is the concept illustration with 3D CAD model of the robot platform, Arduino control programme and Solidworks motion study simulation of the platform working on the flat roof. The final concept design is developed using four stepper motors and winches to control the movement of the robot mounting platform as assigned. Within a limited scale, this study also indicates the challenges during the design process and provides further development suggestions.
