ROCR is a wall-climbing robot that climbs efficiently by using the momentum of a tail that swings like a grandfather clock’s pendulum.

Scientists have created a four-legged bio-inspired robot that climbs like no other. It clings to rough vertical surfaces utilizing a unique mechanism that is highly effective, yet at the same time ...

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 ...

The problem of gripping all surfaces has always plagued the field of climbing robotics. But if you don’t care about damaging the wall, why not just let the robot glue its feet to the surface.… ...

The Brainzord window-climbing robot with pulsating brain does exactly what it says on the packet; climbs windows and has a brain that pulsates. If only all things in life, like your girlfriend’s ...

Video: A robot called Capuchin scales vertical walls using four limbs that can shift its weight to stay balanced, it and other climbing robots could be key to uncovering the geology of Mars (Video ...

Can this robot be made simpler still? Well, it’s been almost a decade but we’ve previously shown this stair climbing robot that doesn’t use a rocker-bogie suspension, but it sure borrows ...

Climbing the walls: As the robot’s motor turns, its tail presses against the surface, and its triangular legs rotate forward (a).

A robot at Carnagie Mellon University is turning heads and giving reason to go “Oooh!” and “Ahhh!” The robot climbs walls at the rate of six-centimeters a second, which is pretty fast if ...
