Climbing robots are robotic systems to move over 2D or complex 3D environments such as walls, ceilings, roofs, and geometric structures and to conduct various tasks. They will not only replace human workers for carrying out risky tasks in hazardous environments, but also increase operational efficiency by eliminating the costly erection of scaffolding and staffing costs. Climbing robots have special characteristics and the ability to adhere to different types of 2D or 3D surfaces, move around, and carry appropriate tools and sensors to work, while self-sustaining their bodies. Therefore, the most significant criterion for designing a climbing robot is to equip it with an appropriate locomotive and adhesion mechanism for adapting to the given environmental requirements. In this paper, a classification of climbing robots and proper examples with a brief outline are presented with considerations of the locomotive and adhesion mechanisms. Also, a list of climbing robots is provided with respect to fields of application that range from cleaning tasks in the construction industry to human care systems in the biomedical service industry.

“…The home care system comprises a mobile robot with a manipulator subsystem. For example, service robot applications that care for elderly people in their home environments have been experimentally tested and reported [9]. Here a manipulator-type rehabilitation robot is attached to the wheelchair or other objects by a specially designed docking station (DS).…”

For elderly and physically disabled people, support systems that assist their active daily life are as important as appropriate rehabilitation. We have designed a rotational meshing actuator for a life support system based on a mobile robot. The present paper explains the basic concept of the actuator and its design details. The actuator comprises a motor-controlled active mechanism mated with a passive mechanism. The trident pin on top of the active mechanism engages with a similar pin on top of the passive mechanism, transmitting the rotational motion between the mechanisms. The rotation transmission characteristics of the actuator were experimentally investigated using an actuator prototype. Finally, the developed actuator was mounted on a mobile robot, and its practical feasibility was confirmed by a window curtaining experiment.

“…In addition to the technology described above, robots are vastly being used to assist and help disabled people [11]. In such settings, the intelligence of the disabled person is supplemented with the manipulation power of a robot in order to carry out activities such as elderly care [12], cooking [13], science experiments [14], and mixed manual/robot assembly and inspection [15]. Such systems in particular deal with certain parameters like sensing the human motion [23], [24] in certain area that further can help in estimating the gesture [10].…”

-The paper presents an intelligent multi gesture spotting system that can be used by disabled people to easily communicate with machines resulting into easement in day-to-day works. The system makes use of pose estimation for 10 signs used by hearing impaired people to communicate. Pose is extracted on the basis of silhouettes using timed motion history (tMHI) followed by gesture recognition with HuMoments. Signs involving motion are recognized with the help of optical flow. Based on the recognized gestures, particular instructions are sent to the robot connected to system resulting into an appropriate action/movement by the robot. The system is unique as it can act as a assisting device and can communicate in local as well as wide area to assist the disabled person.
