With ever increasing global demand and depleting resources for fossil fuels, oil and gas
industry is now positively looking for advanced robotic solutions to increase their productivity …

A climbing robot that can rapidly move on diverse surfaces such as floors, walls, and ceilings
will have an enlarged operational workspace compared with other terrestrial robots …

Stature and the pattern of body proportions were investigated in a series of six time‐
successive Egyptian populations in order to investigate the biological effects on human …

The ability to climb greatly increases the reachable workspace of terrestrial robots,
improving their utility for inspection and exploration tasks. This is particularly desirable for …

The maintenance and inspection of large vertical structures with autonomous systems is still
an unsolved problem. A large number of different robots exist which are able to navigate on …

This paper presents the design and optimization of a wall-climbing robot along with the
incorporation of autonomous adhesion recovery and a motion planning implementation. The …

This paper proposes a small-scale agile wall-climbing robot, which is able to climb on
smooth vertical surfaces using flat adhesive elastomer materials for attachment. Using two …

This paper introduces Omniclimber, a new climbing robot with high maneuverability for
inspection of ferromagnetic flat and convex human made structures. In addition to …

Ship inspection is renowned for its hazardous and cluttered working environment. In worst
cases, human operators must risk their lives to reach the almost inaccessible inspecting …

This paper addresses the problem of planning the motion of a multilimbed robot in order to
“free-climb” vertical rock surfaces. Freeclimbing only relies on frictional contact with the …
