The maintenance of wind turbines is of growing importance considering the transition to
renewable energy. This paper presents a multi-robot-approach for automated wind turbine …

The paper presents a wall-climbing robot featuring self-compliance for variable curvature
façades. The high payload and maneuverability make it highly potential in heavy-duty …

Omniclimbers are climbing robots with high maneuverability for inspection of ferromagnetic
flat and curved human made structures. Omnidirectional wheels are used in Omniclimbers in …

In order to solve the adaptive problem of variable curvature of traditional wall climbing robots
on complex and large metal facades. The effective contact between the track and the surface …

This paper introduces a novel robot which is able to climb hanger cables of long span
suspension bridges. The robot has been developed for inspection purpose, and it can help …

In this paper, a climbing robot for aircraft skin inspection with the inner frame and outer frame
is developed. The climbing robot carrying a CCD camera can stably adsorb and move on …

The goal of this work is to study the application of switchable magnets (SM) for climbing
robots. A switchable magnet is a device which uses moving permanent magnets to change …

为解决传统爬壁机器人在复杂大型金属立面上的变曲率自适应问题, 以履带与曲面的有效接触为
出发点, 分析在自适应曲面运动时履带式移动构型的姿态变化规律, 提出一种基于分体柔性履带 …

This paper introduces a novel single DOF plane transition mechanism, designed to enable
wheel based climbing robots to transit between perpendicular planes. The developed …

This paper presents a novel climbing robot that explores 3-D truss structures for
maintenance and inspection tasks. The robot is biped and has a hybrid serial-parallel …
