In an article the Smithsonian did on Dr. Rodney Brooks and others at
the MIT mobot lab, there was a picture of an undergraduate that had a
climbing robot.  

It looked like it was designed to climb smooth surfaces like glass

If you would like, I'll find the article ( it's at home ) and send you
his name ( it was in the caption ).
