This paper explores the design strategies for hybrid pole- or trunk-climbing robots, focusing on methods to inform design decisions and assess metrics such as adaptability and performance. A wheeled-grasping hybrid robot with modular, tendon-driven grasping arms and a wheeled drive system mounted on
This paper presents a novel actuator system combining a twisted string actuator (TSA) with a winch mechanism. Relative to traditional hydraulic and pneumatic systems in robotics, TSAs are compact and lightweight but face limitations in stroke length and force-transmission ratios. Our integrated TSA-
The successful control of robotic manipulators mounted on flexible bases such as suspended mobile robots requires more sophisticated controllers than those employed for fixed-based manipulators. Solutions proposed in the literature often require expert knowledge to tune control parameters or lack st
