Abstract Every day we witness greater advances in robotic technologies appearing around us. From the creation of military robots built to travel across hostile territories to the implementation of drones in a domestic setting by Amazon.com, these robots continue to become a more important part of our lives every day. Due to this fact, the importance of investigating new methods for ensuring the safe travel from one location to another continues to grow as well. In the spirit of researching these methods, this research aims to develop the functionality for a robot to climb a set of stairs. The robot being used for this project is manufactured by EZ Robot and is provided with its functionality through the execution of scripts and animations created in an integrated development environment. Using this development environment, we developed the autonomous climbing algorithm to allow the robot to successfully climb a set of stairs.
