A climbing robot with continuous motion
Proceedings of the 1994 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2002A walking robot capable of moving with continuous motion on horizontal, vertical and over-hung curved surfaces has been developed. The robot is capable of moving a tool at a specified speed to follow complex paths on steel surfaces. The design, operation and control of the robot is discussed and some test results are presented. >

Development of a Tracked Climbing Robot
Journal of Intelligent and Robotic Systems, 2002This paper describes a climbing robot, using chain-track as the locomotive mechanism and suction cups as the adhesion method. The main structure, sensors, and the vision-based motion control system of the robot are described in the paper. The robot can turn in a limited range by adjusting the steering wheel and twisting the chain.

Ladder Climbing with a Snake Robot
2018 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2018This paper presents a method that allows a snake robot to climb a ladder. We propose a ladder climbing method for a snake robot that has a smooth surface shape. We design a novel gait for the snake using a gait design method that configures the target form of the snake robot by connecting simple shapes. The climbing motion is executed via shift control

This paper presents the design and testing of a bio-inspired soft pneumatic robot that can achieve locomotion along the outside of a cylinder. The robot uses soft pneumatic actuators called FREEs (Fiber Reinforced Elastomeric Enclosure), which can have a wide range of deformation behavior upon pressurization.

Climbing gaits of a modular biped climbing robot
2009 IEEE/ASME International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics, 2009For high-rise work in fields such as agriculture, forestry and architecture, and inspired by the climbing motion of inchworms, chimpanzees, and sloths, we have developed a biped climbing robot - Climbot. Consisting of five 1-DOF joint modules in series and two special grippers at the ends, Climbot is capable of grasping objects and climbing poles ...

The obstacle-climbing capability of a pole-climbing robot
2015 34th Chinese Control Conference (CCC), 2015A trilateral clamping-wheeled, rod-climbing robot is designed to detect internal steel wire fractures in the cylindrical cable of cable-stayed or suspension bridges. In line with this objective, this study also introduces the climbing principle and ontology structure of this robot (Model-1) and analyzes the static dynamic characteristics of this ...

Proceedings of International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2002
Autonomous snake robot locomotion in rough terrain depends on the robot's ability to rise from a horizontal position to a vertical. At first sight, lifting N body segments seems to require O(N) dynamic torque. However, in this paper we describe a practical algorithm, which requires only O(1) dynamic torque.

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2013
This paper presents the design and fabrication of a Window Climbing Robot (WCR), which is a small-scale or miniature robot that is capable of climbing the windows or glass in a vertical motion. While operating in the vertical motion or climbing, the WCR has the capabilities in performing tasks such as cleaning, inspection, surveillance and maintenance.

Design of quadruped walking and climbing robot
Proceedings 2003 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2003) (Cat. No.03CH37453), 2004This paper describes an integrated approach for the design of a quadruped robot, called "MRWALLSPECT III (multifunctional robot for wall inspection version 3)", which walks in planes as well as climb walls with suction pads. Since the robot is expected to be able to move from wall to wall to plane including negotiating convex or concave corners, a ...
