Climbing robots are designed to conduct tasks that may be dangerous for humans working
at height. In addition to improving safety, they can also increase task efficiency and reduce …

Creating fully implantable robots that replace or restore physiological processes is a great
challenge in medical robotics. Restoring blood glucose homeostasis in patients with type 1 …

In this paper, aimed at the problem of control accuracy when the traditional position-based
impedance control is applied in the hydraulic drive unit (HDU) of legged robot, a kind of …

Hydraulic drive mode enables legged robots to have excellent characteristics, such as
greater power-to-weight ratios, higher load capacities, and faster response speeds than …

Steel structures require inspection and maintenance tasks which are too dangerous for
human workers, due to the risk of falling from heights. These tasks can be safely performed …

The semi-cylindrical foot end of a legged robot is suitable for the robot movements in
complex environments and is the most commonly used foot end type. However, its actual …

This work investigates the design and adaptive control of a miniature robot with multi-modal
locomotion which has the ability to climb inside train bogies for inspection purposes. We …

In this article, we present a ceiling-mounted mobile robot, HanGrawler, with high-speed
mobility and the ability to freely select and adjust its route under a ceiling plate. HanGrawler …

Magnetic adsorption mechanisms are widely used for wall-climbing robots to manipulate a
locomotive on the surface of a magnetic conducting metal. However, the reported magnetic …

A novel wall-climbing robot with multiple attachment modes is proposed. For uneven
surfaces, the mechanical model of a spine wheel is brought out to grab the surfaces with its …
