Flexible Structural Design for Side-Sliding Force Reduction for a Caterpillar Climbing Robot
Due to sliding force arising from the closed chain mechanism among the adhering points of a climbing caterpillar robot (CCR), a sliding phenomenon will happen at the adhering points, e.g., the vacuum pads or claws holding the surface. This sliding force makes the attachment of the climbing robot uns...
