Analyses and Solutions for the Buckling of Thin and Flexible Electrostatic Inchworm Climbing Robots

Planar and flexible climbing robots suffer from buckling while climbing on a vertical surface. This paper analyzes two different modes: one-end free buckling and two-ends fixed buckling. As an example for buckling analyses, the paper focuses on an electrostatic climbing robot that features thin body...
