Embodiments herein provide an autonomous surface crawling robot (100) for crawling over surfaces using electro-mechanical assembly for creating strong suction force and enabling the robot (100) to smoothly crawl over flat surfaces, horizontal/vertical/inclined surfaces, curved surfaces, and surfaces with dents. Battery powered motors (602A) are used for only mobilization, while mechanical assembly generates suction to provide consistent grip across different type of surfaces. A dual flexible cam profile (302) assembly including a cam profile (302) and a guide rail (304) generates required suction and addresses the technical challenge of maintaining suction across varying surfaces without using external power for suction generation. The dual flexible cam profile (302) provides a robust, less prone to error or slippage type passive crawler mechanism, with consistent grip across uneven the surface.
