Ready and willing to start scrambling up a wall near you is Muscle Corporation’s cunning ladder-climbing robot, a humanoid creation packing innovative compact muscle units.
Dressed in Michael Jackson’s discarded stage gear, the ladder-leaping robot gains its ascending abilities courtesy of an advanced set of joints called the CoolMuscle 2.
Each one of these puppies combines a motor, driver, encoder, controller, PLC and power supply, all packed into a compact unit.
The robot uses just five of these ‘muscles’ which all talk to each other to allow the movement to take place – check out the video below to see the robot in all its ladder-groping glory:
