Currently teleconferencing robotic systems available are not smart and unable to navigate based on specific path and fail to focus on presenter based on overall environment. This disclosure relates to method of dynamic localization of a telepresence robot based on plurality of live markers. A plurality of images is received from an image capturing device connected to the telepresence robot. The plurality of images is processed to identify the plurality of live markers in a path of the telepresence robot. A binary matrix is decoded to identify at least one identifier (ID) associated with the at least one live marker from the plurality of live markers. A plurality of parameters is identified based on the at least one ID associated with the at least one live marker. A further path is dynamically localized to navigate the telepresence robot based on the plurality of parameters and the plurality of live markers.

State of art techniques utilize active systems for stronger suction in surface crawlers while the passive approaches have limitation in providing consistent grip while moving across curved surfaces or dents. Embodiments herein provide an autonomous surface crawling robot for crawling over surfaces using electro-mechanical assembly for creating strong suction force and enabling the robot to smoothly crawl over flat surfaces, horizontal/vertical/inclined surfaces, curved surfaces, and surfaces with dents. Battery powered motors are used for only mobilization, while mechanical assembly generates suction to provide consistent grip across different type of surfaces. A dual flexible cam profile assembly including a cam profile and a guide rail 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 provides a robust, less prone to error or slippage type passive crawler mechanism, with consistent grip across uneven the surface.
