The MENRVA group is focusing on the design and development of different climbing systems to be used for both servicing operations on Earth and Space exploration. Tank-style Robot This robot is ...

Similarly, an investigation into multispecies hybrid bioinspired systems has led to the creation of a robot tailored for wall tile inspection, optimising adhesion and defect detection through the ...

If all goes well, dozens of applications lie ahead. Wall-climbing robots could be used to clean windows, inspect buildings, crawl up pipes and help in search-and-rescue operations.

The robot's other two opposing legs, meanwhile, are free to take the next step upward. This is an insect-inspired climbing strategy known as directed inward grasping (DIG).

Another EPRI sponsored research project currently in development is the boiler-climbing robot for inspecting water walls. The climbing capabilities of the robot have been successfully demonstrated ...

A wall-climbing robot could replace people in building inspections and one day survey urban war zones, where corners, rooftops and building materials thwart otherwise capable robots. The City ...

Wall-climbing robots could be a boon for the U.S. military, which could use them on reconnaissance operations or other missions in war zones, said Philip von Guggenberg, director of business ...

<p>I'll just say it: a wall-climbing "spiderbot" that spins incredibly strong webs from carbon fiber strands is not the kind of thing I want to be fighting when the robots rise up. But death-by ...

Using "chimney climbing," the robot dog Kleiyn moves upward between two walls. It does this 50 times faster than the previous record holder.

Climbing robots represent a rapidly evolving field in robotics, offering innovative solutions for tasks that are often hazardous, labour‐intensive or inaccessible for humans. These systems ...
