Abstract

The advancement in nature has prompted the presentation of very effective organic systems. Emulating these instruments offers gigantic possibilities for the change of our life and the apparatuses we utilize. Nowadays, the robot is biggest mechanism that is used for each and every process as it has the gripper assembly designed uses a flexible casing which grasps the tree trunk of almost all diameter within the predefined range, basically it uses passive compliance. This mechanism can be used for climbing trees which are almost height like coconut trees and poles. The main drawback is being slow and there is a possibility of damaging the tree trunk. Hence this system propose a new tree climbing mechanism for multi tree climbing robot that can be used to climb trees that are almost straight and height.
