DOI: 10.1109/tro.2021.3102418
Abstract: Problems of large sizes and low displacement resolutions widely exist in most of the pole-climbing robots based on electromagnetic or electrostatic motors, which greatly decrease the reachable workspace and influence their utility for inspection tasks.… read more here.
