http://ROBORAMA.info- RiSE is
a small six-legged robot that
climbs vertical terrain such
as walls, trees and fences.
RiSE's feet have claws,
micro-claws or sticky
material, depending on the
climbing surface. RiSE changes
posture to conform to the
curvature of the climbing
surface and a fixed tail helps
RiSE balance on steep ascents.
RiSE is about 0.25 m long,
weighs 2 kg, and travels 0.3
m/s.Each of RiSE's six legs is
powered by two electric
motors. An onboard computer
controls leg motion, manages
communications, and services a
variety of sensors. The
sensors include an inertial
measurement unit, joint
position sensors for each leg,
leg strain sensors and foot
contact sensors.Future
versions of RiSE will use dry
adhesion to climb sheer
vertical surfaces such as
glass and metal. RiSE is being
developed in conjunction with
researchers at University of
Pennsylvania, Carnegie Mellon,
Berkeley, Stanford, and Lewis
and Clark University. RiSE is
funded by the DARPA Defense
Sciences Office.
