In this paper, we present three pole climbing robots which were evolved gradually to reduce the complexity and increase the payload of the robots. The designs evolved toward natural stability, which is inspired from human pole climbers. In contrast to human climbers, all three versions rely on wheel mechanism to ensure smooth and fast climbing motion. The stability of the robots was statically analyzed...
Presented in this paper is an approach to real-time spatial reasoning for manipulative robotic tasks. When a service robot is requested to manipulate an object, it should determine the directions along which it can access and remove the object. The potential accessible directions for the object are retrieved from the object database. Then, spatial reasoning with the surrounding environment and the...
