Title
Bio-inspired caterpillar-like climbing robot
Abstract
Caterpillars are extraordinary climbers in nature. The caterpillar-like climbing is in fact slow, but a caterpillar's multi-segment body trunk strongly enhances the climbing versatility and dexterity. In this study, we present a three-stage locomotion method to imitate the caterpillar-like climbing strategy. For practical implementation, a multi-segment modular robot is constructed, and the three-stage climbing method is successfully implemented on the robot, which confirms the effectiveness of the proposed climbing method.
