Climbing Robots

We have developed a series of climbing robots which are based on a number of different climbing mechanisms.

Climbing Mini Whegs™ expands the Mini Whegs™ platform to use adhesive pads, spines and biologically inspired adhesives to climb on various surfaces.

Screenbot is a simple climbing robot which climbs on wire mesh using spines.

Digbot is a 19DOF robot which will be able to navigate complex transitions on wire mesh using spines.
