Problem statement and objectives

Hulpverleners kunnen de kritieke situatie niet goed genoeg inschatten, omdat ze daar niet de juiste middelen voor hebben. Slachtoffers kunnen sneller geholpen worden als hulpverleners makkelijker in kleine ruimtes kunnen zoeken. (Translate)

Objectives:

• The solution should be ready for use
• The solution should be tiny/small
• The solution should be adaptable
• The solution should be strong (enough for mechanical loads)
• The solution should be autonomous
• The solution should be user-friendly
• The solution should be able to function in an unknown and dynamic environment
• The solution should be durable

[1] This paper looks at certain safe points where the spider robot can place its feet and where not in a plane.
[2] This paper looks at certain points where the spider can and cannot place its feet.
[3] This paper looks at a spider robot that climbs autonomously in pipelines. Could be useful for the small spaces.
[4] This paper is about the capabilities of the spider and studies the foot force and torque distribution of the spider in different conditions and compares the leg configurations in order to minimize the torque effort.
