End-effector with a Hook and Two Fingers for the Locomotion and Simple Work of a Four-limbed Robot

In this paper, we propose an end-effector for realizing various locomotion modes and simple work of a legged robot. The locomotion modes include climbing a vertical ladder, crawling, and walking. The simple work includes grasping and switching motions required at a disaster site. The developed end-e…
