A toy climbing robot

چکیده
We built a simple toy climbing robot in order to explore problems related to minimalist grasping, path planning, and robot control. The robot is capable of climbing a wall of pegs either under remote control, or on the basis of a set of pre-recorded keyframes. In addition, the robot can climb certain peg configurations using a cyclic gait. All communications are sent through an infrared connection, and the tether to the robot consists only of two power wires. Due to the minimalist, nonprehensile grasping method, the robot is capable of actively removing error while climbing, which is necessary to enable the robot to climb without sensing the environment.

متن کاملDynamic Modeling and Construction of a New Two-Wheeled Mobile Manipulator: Self-balancing and Climbing
Designing the self-balancing two-wheeled mobile robots and reducing undesired vibrations are of great importance. For this purpose, the majority of researches are focused on application of relatively complex control approaches without improving the robot structure. Therefore, in this paper we introduce a new two-wheeled mobile robot which, despite its relative simple structure, fulfills the req...

A Valley in One’s Sense of Affinity The mathematical termmonotonically increasing function describes a relation in which the function y 1⁄4 f x ð Þ increases continuously with the variable x. For example, as effort x grows, income y increases, or as a car’s accelerator is pressed, the car moves faster. This kind of relation is ubiquitous and easily understood. In fact, because such monotonicall...
