This paper presents a novel passive adhesion principle which is used firstly for an inspired modular climbing caterpillar project. After a related survey on the natural creatures which can climb on the vertical surface with different materials, a systematical summarizing on four attachment methods adopted by climbing robots worldwide is given. Then a low-frequency vibrating passive attachment principle...
JL-1 is a reconfigurable multi-robots system based on parallel mechanisms and cone-shaped docking mechanisms. To reveal how the force cooperation between robots enhances the terrain adaptability of JL-1 and to discover the limits of the current reconfiguration mechanism, this paper analyzes the forces arising between robots during cooperation in docking and docked state. The static analysis of the...
Based on the vermicular motion of the pine caterpillar and inchworm, this paper presents two novel module climbing caterpillar kinematics models. The analysis of the valid gaits and climbing safety of them indicates the differences of two models. The pine caterpillar model with all active joints has the disadvantage of introducing the redundant actuating to its locomotion but higher security than...
