A dynamic single actuator vertical climbing robot

This is a video of a single actuated 1-joint robot built at the Manipulation and Biorobotics labs at the Robotics Institute - Carnegie Mellon University. By using dynamic motions, it is possible to build a 1-joint robot that climbs up a parallel chute. The test-bed is an air-table which keeps the mechanism planar. For more information see the IROS 2007 paper: A. Degani, A. Shapiro, H. Choset, and M. T. Mason. "A dynamic single actuator vertical climbing robot". In Proc. of IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS'07), San Diego, CA, Oct 2007.
