Video: Ingenious EEWOC robot uses a tape measure to climb quickly By Ben Coxworth April 23, 2024 The tape-dispensing EEWOC robot has a top climbing speed of 0.24 meters per second (0.79 ft/s), ...

At IFA 2025, we noticed that nearly every major robot vacuum maker is setting stakes in the stair-climbing frontier.

Led by robotics Ph.D. student Paul Nadan, a team at Carnegie Mellon University has been developing the extraordinary Loris ...

Engineers have used a variety of techniques to create robots that can scale walls – “the Climber” uses a rolling seal, while the insect-like robots from SRI have caterpillar tracks with ...

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 utilise ...

RoboSimian can walk on four legs, crawl, move like an inchworm and slide on its belly. In this photo, it stands on the Devil’s Golf Course in Death Valley, California, for field testing with engineer ...

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. That’s ...

Dyson has just patented its stair climbing robot vacuum robot technology. The technology was reportedly 16 years in the making and the patent shows how the Dyson bot can now do more than just ...

Researchers have created a robot that can run up a wall as smooth as glass and onto the ceiling at a rate of six centimeters a second. The robot currently uses a dry elastomer adhesive, but the ...
