    Currently, robots are used for different types of work, such as the manufacturing industry, healthcare, and the hotel industry. According to the current epidemic situation, the usage of robots was increased because of the need to reduce human interaction. As a result, they have to walk around the workplace, because of that, they may have to climb staircases. The world has many types of robots. Here the selected robot is a humanoid. This proposal is concerned with how to detect the staircase, count steps, get dimensions of it, and move the robot on it by keeping body balance. First, want to know what the objects are, then walk. The identified images from the image sensors will get as input. The technology stack that is used for image analysis is a method related to computer vision in deep learning. Other than that, while climbing the stairs robot needs to identify whether the staircase is over or not. Here we introduce a new concept: get the number of steps required to climb before climbing the stairs. It is related to how humans identify things by seeing and making decisions. The need to take the dimensions of the stairs is that when considering the stairs, they have their height, width, and range. Therefore, it is imperative to calculate the dimensions of each staircase separately. Creating a balance system similar to human balance is a great advantage in robotics. To implement such a system, there is an upright pose controller to allow the robot to walk stably by preventing tilting of the robot during walking on uneven floor. In general, for us to do that we need to calculate the global inclination of the floor is a key factor. It can be measured with a 2-axis accelerator meter, and it is installed in the inertial sensor.
