Study on the structural function and motion performance of pneumatic flexible tree-climbing robot. by Hongbo Liu, Zhipan Gou

“…The kinematic analysis of the robot was performed using a 3D motion capture system, and the motion performance of the robot was obtained under different air pressures, tree diameters, tree inclination angles, and load conditions. The experimental results show that, according to the gait planning and its control sequence for climbing trees, the robot can carry loads to complete functions of climbing upwards, climbing downwards, and crossing obstacles at different inclination angles by alternately coordinating waist deformation and leg clamping through the air pressure control system. …”
