This paper presents a new design for the grippers of Treebot, a novel tree climbing robot that can move from trunks to branches. As trees are unstructured environments, grippers can easily become embedded in the barks. To reduce these occurrences and enhance Treebot's robustness, we designed a retractable spine with increased withdrawal force. Here, we analyze the relationship between the insertion...
This paper proposes a novel path planning method for a robot to climb on the deformable clothes surface. Based on the deformable characteristic of the clothes, the tension force of clothes is analyzed and the model of tension degree is established. A clothes climbing robot called Clothbot is composed of a two-wheeled gripper and a 2 Degrees of Freedom (DOF) tail. Based on the locomotion of this robot,...
This paper presents a novel climbing robot called Clothbot which has high maneuverability on flexible clothes. It has a novel gripper consisting of two parallel wheels that can grip continuously and stably on various kinds of clothes. Clothbot also has an omni-directional tail of two DOFs so that it can change its center of gravity to control the moving direction on complex and undeterminate clothes...
