Abstract
The climbing robot tele-operated remote systems were developed for inspection and maintenance. The design of the robotics systems provides automation of these processes and economic efficiency in its applications. Two variants of the robots are considered: design of increased load capacity and design of light weight. A sensor-based computer control system is used.
The paper contains an overview of the technical parameters and experimental characteristics of the robots transport module, control system, some design calculations, and the schemes of the robots application.
