Purpose: In the past several decades, considerable research has been dedicated to the development of mobile systems that can traverse vertical surfaces. For the control of the climbing robot, high-precision sensing of the climbing robot’s heading angle during movement is very important. This...

Purpose The Bernoulli gripper fixedly installed on the manipulator is subject to limitations such as a small-working region and poor anti-interference capacity. This paper aims to propose a novel Bernoulli gripper design that involves the connection of a positive stiffness component such as a...

Purpose Autonomous mobile cleaning robots are widely used to clean solar panels because of their flexibility and high efficiency. However, gravity is a challenge for cleaning robots on inclined solar panels, and robots have problems such as high working power and short battery life. This paper...
