This paper introduces a novel climbing robot for tube-sheet inspection (CRTI) that uses inner wall grippers (IWGs) to grasp tubes, enabling it to hang and crawl beneath the tube-sheet plane. The robot is designed primarily for inspecting steam generators in nuclear power plants. The CRTI based on a
Flippers are important components for improving the locomotion efficiency and stability of bionic underwater robots. A novel origami-based adaptive flipper is presented to address a lack of environmental adaptability and low performance efficiency due to the structural design or inherent characteris
Modular self-reconfigurable robots (MSRRs) have significantly progressed in hardware and algorithm development. However, they are generally used in terrestrial environments, leaving broad scenarios to be explored and benefited. This letter presents a novel amphibious self-reconfigurable robot (ASRR)
