Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study has been performed to develop a climbing robot and the corresponding support system. For the robot to keep balance without fall, it needs to satisfy some important constraints. This study proposes the algorithm that the climbing robot system derive the optimal solution to satisfy the above constraints. On the other hand, the experimental equipment should be developed in order to evaluate the presented algorithm. The system we developed consists of the climbing robot, the climbing wall with many holds, the vision system to observe the wall, the simple mechanical system using rope to prevent the fall.
