Climbing Strategies for Remote Maneuverability of ROBOCLIMBER
نویسندگان
چکیده
Presently, for consolidation of rocky slopes, heavy duty industrial equipment is employed for drilling up to 20 m. depth holes. However, it is a very complex task and many working sites are of very difficult reach. ROBOCLIMBER is a quadruped walking and climbing robot whose development is funded by the EC under a Growth/Craft RTD project, where the objective is to develop a tele-operated service robotic system that will help to automate the heavy work of slope consolidation and will enable more precise geological monitoring tasks.

Toward Micro Wall-Climbing Robots Using Biomimetic Fibrillar Adhesives
Climbing is a challenging task for autonomous mobile robots primarily due to requirements for agile locomotion, and high maneuverability as well as robust and efficient attachment and detachment. A novel miniature wall-climbing robot is proposed. The robot is adapted for the wall-climbing task by taking advantage of down scaling and its low design. Challenges encountered during robot miniaturiz...
متن کاملReliable, Built-in, High-Accuracy Force Sensing for Legged Robots
An approach for achieving reliable, built-in, high-accuracy force sensing for legged robots is presented, based on direct exploitation of the properties of a robot’s mechanical structure. The proposed methodology relies on taking account of force-sensing requirements at the robot design stage, with a view to embedding force-sensing capability within the mechanical structure of the robot itself....
متن کاملUnder-Actuated Kinematic Structures For Miniature Climbing Robots
This paper presents two biped designs for miniature climbing robots. The designs use underactuation to satisfy space and weight constraints. In the first design, one actuator provides steering and another two propel the robot in a cartwheel style gait. The cartwheel gait is quite effective but space required for the maneuver precludes certain applications. The limitation is overcome in the seco...
متن کاملTrim and Maneuverability Analysis Using a New Constrained PSO Approach of a UAV
Performance characteristic of an Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) is investigated using a newly developed heuristic approach. Almost all flight phases of any air vehicle can be categorized into trim and maneuvering flights. In this paper, a new envelope called trim-ability envelope, is introduced and sketched within the conventional flight envelope for a small UAV. Optimal maneuverability of the inte...
