  • Design and control of a climbing robot for autonomous vertical gardening [Elektronski vir]
    Jamšek, Marko, strojnik ...
    This paper focuses on the development of a novel climbing robot that is designed for autonomous maintenance of vertical gardens in urban environments. The robot, designed with a unique five-legged ... structure, is equipped with a range of electrical and mechanical components, enabling it to autonomously navigate and maintain a specially designed vertical garden wall facilitating interactive maintenance and growth monitoring. The motion planning and control of the robot were developed to ensure precise and adaptive movement across the vertical garden wall. Advanced algorithms were employed to manage the complex dynamics of the robot’s movements, optimizing its efficiency and effectiveness in navigating and maintaining the garden structure. The operation of the robot in maintaining the vertical garden was evaluated during a two-week trial where the robot successfully performed nearly 8000 leg movements, with only 0.6% requiring human intervention. This demonstrates a high level of autonomy and reliability. This study concludes that the pentapod robot demonstrates significant potential for automating the maintenance of vertical gardens, offering a promising tool for enhancing urban green spaces.
