Numerical Analysis of a TCR Adaptive to Different Tree Diameters for Unstructured Forest Environment: A TCR of Variable Diameter with Different Tree Diameters
Abstract:This paper proposes the optimal design and simulation analysis of a robot for tree-climbing, which has the ability to climb up the tree trunk to adapt to different tree diameter changes. In an unstructured forest environment, considering that the Tree-Climbing Robot (TCR) may collide with branches, reducing the success rate of tree climbing, the mechanical structure and movement strategy to avoid branches are predesigned. The presented TCR mimics several design principles that have been adapted to arboreal ani… Show more
