Once working at heights is dangerous, it is a significant accident. These accidents brought
substantial economic losses and caused a large number of casualties. Therefore, it is …

Robotized intelligent manufacturing is a growing trend in the manufacturing of large and
complex components in aviation, aerospace, marine engineering and other industries. With …

Exploration of artificial aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) has garnered
extensive interest in the past two decades. In particular, AIEgens possessing natural …

Failure detection of high facilities always presents a tremendous challenge. Climbing-wall
robot with detection capacity has become a main approach. But owing to their limitations in …

The nonlinear energy sink (NES) is a light-weighted device used for shock mitigation in
dynamic structures through its passive targeted energy transfer (TET) mechanism. Here, a …

Climbing robots that integrate an articulated arm as their main climbing mechanism can
eventually take advantage of their arm for plane transition and thus to operate on 3D …

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 …

In this paper, a novel adaptive robust controller is presented for high-accuracy tracking
control of servomotor rigid robotic systems based on a modified nonsingular terminal sliding …

This paper presents a novel mechanism of tree climbing robotic system for tree pruning. The
unique features of this system include the passive and active anti-falling mechanisms, which …

Integrating wheeled and legged locomotion modes is an effective approach for climbing
robots improving their mobility. In this paper, we developed a novel wheel-leg hybrid …
