Summary
Development of climbing robots was a challenging area during last decade and received an increased attention in recent years. On the other hand benchmarking is considered an important factor for robotic researches as it can reduce unnecessary efforts and orient re-searches to the proper direction. In this paper a set of benchmarks and testing methodologies for pole climbing robots are proposed.
