Abstract NERO is a series of teleoperated wall climbing vehicles. Each vehicle carries a specific tool for assisting inspection of a nuclear reactor pressure vessel in the U.K. They adopted a simple sliding frame walking mechanism to cope with 250mm head room and 25mm obstacles on the surface. Vacuum suckers are used by the vehicle for climbing vertical surface. The NERO vehicle is driven remotely by an operator via a control console. The status of the vehicle and the control console is displayed on the console’s computer monitor. These vehicles completed their tasks successfully by September 1992.

A comparative analysis of the kinematic parameters of a goat on different slopes was conducted to study the kinematic parameters of goats on different slopes with walking mechanics. The uphill walking processes on different slopes (0°, 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25° and 30°) were recorded by a high speed video system (VRI Phantom M110). The experimental image results were processed and analyzed using PCC and MATLAB software. The kinematic parameters were obtained from the goat walking on different slopes; these parameters are the changes of centroid with displacement, speed with time, and acceleration with time. As the gradient in the uphill process increases, the range of centroid fluctuation ranges from 0.079 to 0.59 and the rate of change ranges from 0.4 to 2.2 m/s, while the acceleration of the goat slope decreases. The present research can provide theoretical basis and experimental data for the design of a biomimetic agricultural slope walking mechanism.

In this article is presented a short classification for walking robots that are based on leg locomotion and the main objectives that walking robots designers must achieve. The leg configuration of the walking robot is essential for obtaining a stable motion. Computer aided design process offers certain advantages for designers who attend to realize competitive products with fewer errors and in a short term. The aim of this article is to present the graphical results of the kinematic analysis of a new type of walking mechanism designed by Dutch physicist and sculptor Theo Jansen using Pro Engineer program and SAM, in order to compare the results.
