High-rise tasks in agriculture, forestry and building industry requires robots possessing climbing function. Motivated by these potential applications and inspired by the climbing motion of animals such as inchworms, we have developed a novel biped climbing robot - Climbot. Built with a modular approach, the robot consists of five 1-DoF joint modules connected in series and two special grippers mounted...

Mobile robots have been extensively investigated since the early development of robotics and widely used in indoor and outdoor environments. However, with almost all existing wheeled robots, the distance between the wheels are constant and orientation of the wheels (except for the steering ones) are fixed with respect to the robot body, which limits their adaptability to environments. To overcome...
Modules have been widely used in development of various robots including re-configurable robots and snake-like robots. To build robotic systems more flexibly and quickly with low costs of manufacturing and maintenance, we have developed two basic types, which are called T-type and I-type, of robotic joint modules with one degree of freedom for general purpose. The modules are designed to be compact,...
For applications in new fields such as agriculture, forestry and high-altitude work, a modular robot is developed for climbing posts, trees and trusses and manipulating objects. Inspired by the climbing motion of sloths, chimpanzees and inchworms, this new robot is designed to be anthropomorphic. It consists of six one-DOF joint modules in series and two special grippers at ends. The grippers are...
