The Bioloid is an autonomous robot capable of climbing a wall.
Notice the size accuracy: it is not a sequence that the robot has learned by heart, but a fully autonomous and improvised development according to the data and the supports that it sees in front of it. The robot is based on the X-Y positions of its attachments.
Future versions of this prototype will include a complete visual system with video camera.
This is a university project by Marco Wickrath (Technical University of Dortmund in Germany in collaboration with the University of Manitoba in Canada.
