Table of Climbing Solutions

Climbing solutions :

SolutionProsCons
Grip, Ring BoltLow coast(path), StablePath needed, High precision required, Unstable under special condition(under windy situation or even uncalculated torque the robot might loose stability)
Grip, NailLow coast(path), Very stablePath needed, Relatively High precision required
Nano tech, bio inspieredPath free, Relatively stable(in case of supported weight) High coast of producing the material, Question regarding weight issue(Some studies show they are reliable), If functional in extreme cold  and wet condition
Lock(IKEA type) itself to the wallRelatively Low coast(path), Extra stable, Path needed, High precision required
Suction cupEasy implementation, Path freeThe path should be totally clear and glossy for the solution to work(unstable and fear of robot to fall)
Magnet, pre-pathLow coast(path), Very stable, Path free(Platforms are made of metal variants)Path needed(depends on the materials that the workspace is made of), Extra power for 4xel. magnets, Unstable in special condition(in case of ice covering the magnet -> in design of platforms up to 10mm ice is considered in calculations)
Magnet, path builderVery stable, Path builder, Extra arm for path building, Slow, Exact place on the path can not be screwed too many times, Extra power for 4xel. magnets, Unstable in special condition(in case of ice covering the magnet -> in design of platforms up to 10mm ice is considered in calculations)
Screw itself to the wallExtra stableExact place on the path can not be screwed too many times, Unstable in special condition(in case of ice covering the magnet -> in design of platforms up to 10mm ice is considered in calculations),

  1. I suggest that you use small hydrolic controlled pins, very small pins which adapt themselves in contrast to the shape of the rough object and grip it by retracting the pins inside where there are obstacles and protruding the others around the object which have to be grasped. Good Luck .
