Abstract

Wepresent a biologically inspired morphable mechanism for a small multi-legged robot and characterize the mechanism for statically stable climbing up convex/ cylindrical structures. The design includes an analysis of the robot's static stability while climbing such structures. Preliminary experimental results highlight the merits and limitations of the overall approach.
