Proceedings ArticleDOI
A floor cleaning robot using Swedish wheels
TL;DR: A floor cleaning robot equipped with Swedish wheels, which can be used in crowded places such as houses, train station, airport etc, and is provided with automatic power management ability.
Journal ArticleDOI
A study on a wheel-based stair-climbing robot with a hopping mechanism
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a simple hopping mechanism using the vibration of a two-degree-of-freedom system for a wheel-based stair-climbing robot, which hops by releasing energy stored in the springs and quickly travels using wheels mounted in its lower body.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a small flapping robot: Motion analysis during takeoff by numerical simulation and experiment
TL;DR: In this article, an isometric physical model was constructed based on the observations of body and wing motions during takeoff of a butterfly, and compared the flapping motion of the model with that of the butterfly.
Development of a Small Legged Wall Climbing Robot with Passive Suction Cups
Soichiro Kawasaki,Koki Kikuchi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a small hexapod robot with passive suction cups and a single degree-of-freedom linkage legs was developed for climbing a vertical wall, which achieved a speed of 2.7 cm/s.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Suction Ability Analyses of a Novel Wall Climbing Robot
TL;DR: The wall climbing robot has characteristics of moving smartly and suction reliably on the wall, therefore, this paper proposes a method called critical suction, based on the negative suction and thrust force, which is discussed in theory.
