Abdulaali PY - 2019 VL - 15 IS - 1 SP - 37 EP - 46 JO - Iraqi Journal for Electrical And Electronic Engineering المجلة العراقية للهندسة الكهربائية والالكترونية SN - 18145892 20786069 AB - In this paper, the hybrid-climbing legged robot is designed, implemented, and practically tested. The robothas four legs arranged symmetrically around the body were designed for climbing wire mesh fence. Each leg inrobot has 3DOF which makes the motion of the robot is flexible. The robot can climb the walls vertically by using aunique design of gripper device included metal hooks. The mechanism of the movement is a combination of twotechniques, the first is the common way for the successive movement like gecko by using four limbs, and the seconddepending on the method that used by cats for climbing on the trees using claws, for this reason, the robot is namedhybrid-climbing legged robot. The movement mechanism of the climbing robot is achieved by emulating the motionbehavior of the gecko, which helped to derive the kinematic equations of the robot. The robot was practicallyimplemented by using a microcontroller for the mainboard controller while the structure of the robot body isdesigned by AutoCAD software. Several experiments performed in order to test the success of climbing on thevertical wire mesh fence.
