Climbing robots represent a rapidly evolving field in robotics, offering innovative solutions for tasks that are often hazardous, labour‐intensive or inaccessible for humans. These systems utilise ...

Scientists have created a four-legged bio-inspired robot that climbs like no other. It clings to rough vertical surfaces utilizing a unique mechanism that is highly effective, yet at the same time ...

The robot vacuum is not a new tech gadget, it’s been around for a fair amount of time. But the technology that goes into a robot vacuum has evolved and gotten better over the years. Innovations in ...

Stair-climbing robot vacuums are actually about to be a reality, sort of. That’s courtesy of a little baby trend at IFA 2025 of robot vacuums slipping into something more climbable—a little caddy that ...

Climbing Minier Whegs is a smaller version of the Climbing Mini Whegs project in the CWRU Center for Biologically Inspired Robotics. This is a light (62 gram) wall climbing robot that scales smooth ...

KAIST research team's independently developed humanoid robot boasts world-class driving performance, reaching speeds of ...

Stairs are the enemy of robot vacuums, and Eufy says it has a solution in its new “Marswalker” solution that gives your cleaning robot its own climbing robot. The Eufy Marswalker is the “world’s first ...

The ANYmal quadruped robot not only walks on four legs, it can also roll on four wheels, stand up, throw boxes, and make its way up and down stairs. As if all that wasn't enough, the thing can now ...

Liz Metzger (MSR ‘23) began her independent project in Northwestern Engineering's Master of Science in Robotics (MSR) program with nothing but an idea. By the end of the 10-week challenge, she created ...

Mechanical engineers design a robotic snake based on the kingsnake’s climbing technique, which could advance search-and-rescue technology. By studying how the creatures move, a team of engineers at ...
