BOOK

Climbing robot is a challenging research topic that has gained
much attention from researchers. Most of the robots reported in
the literature are designed to climb on manmade structures, but
seldom robots are designed for climbing natural environment such
as trees. Trees and manmade structures are very different in
nature. It brings different aspects of technical challenges to
the robot design. In this book, you can find a collection of the
cutting edge technologies in the field of tree-climbing robot and
the ways that animals climb. It provides a valuable reference for
robot designers to select appropriate climbing methods in
designing tree-climbing robots for specific purposes. Based on
the study, a novel bio-inspired tree-climbing robot with several
breakthrough performances has been developed and presents in this
book. It is capable of performing various actions that is
impossible in the state-of-the-art tree-climbing robots, such as
moving between trunk and branches. This book also proposes
several approaches in autonomous tree-climbing, including the
sensing methodology, cognition of the environment, path planning
and motion planning on both known and unknown environment
