Simple Vibrating Bot Climbs Tubes With Ease
This story is from the category Artificial Intelligence
Date posted: 16/05/2010
Carnegie Mellon University researchers have developed a robot that can climb three-dimensional tubes.
Its simple motor turns an unbalanced mass at a uniform velocity. As the mass swings around, it causes the robot to bounce back and forth between the tube walls. Two rubber o-rings let the researches specify the exact contact points and increase friction with the walls.
