The
ability of the CLIBO to climb on these surfaces using a locomotion
algorithm was experimentally demonstrated. Several other aspects
remain to be further investigated in the future as follows: dynamic
locomotion; developing transition algorithms; providing the robot
with the ability to stay statically hanging on the wall with no
energy consumption; improving on-board computing speed; and
providing on-board energy source. Allowing the gripper to attach
onto curved surface and adjust the algorithm to uneven terrain
would expand the robots maneuverability to more than just
vertical walls. Moreover, designing a variety of other grippers
involving suction cups or magnets can widen the surfaces CLIBO
can climb. Despite the necessity of addressing these issues, CLIBO
completed its designed tasks in a reliable way.
