攀爬機器人技術簡介與應用

攀爬機器人因應高風險、高難度環境下的工作任務挑戰，具備垂直、傾斜與複雜結構表面移動能力，可廣泛應用於基礎設施檢測、能源巡檢、災後搜救及特殊環境作業等領域。其核心技術包括多樣化的附著機制（如磁力、正/負壓、靜電與仿生黏附等），搭配履帶式、輪式、多足機構或飛行混合等移動策略。近年隨著感知元件、定位技術、控制系統與運動規劃技術進步，攀爬機器人加速朝向智慧化、自主化與多模態整合發展。未來挑戰包括提升附著穩定性、環境適應性、控制複雜度與能源效率。透過人工智慧、自主學習與感知融合技術的導入，攀爬機器人有望成為高風險作業領域中重要的輔助設備。

Climbing robots are developed to address the challenges of performing tasks in high-risk and complex environments. They possess the ability to traverse vertical, inclined, and irregular structural surfaces, making them suitable for a wide range of applications such as infrastructure inspection, energy facility monitoring, post-disaster search and rescue, and operations in hazardous environments. Their core technologies include various attachment mechanisms—such as magnetic adhesion, positive/negative pressure, electrostatic forces, and bio-inspired adhesives—paired with mobility strategies like tracked, wheeled, multi-legged, or hybrid aerial-ground systems. In recent years, advancements in sensing components, localization technologies, control systems, and motion planning have accelerated the development of climbing robots toward greater intelligence, autonomy, and multimodal integration. Future challenges include improving adhesion stability, environmental adaptability, control complexity, and energy efficiency. With the integration of artificial intelligence, autonomous learning, and sensor fusion technologies, climbing robots are expected to become essential auxiliary tools in high-risk operational environments.
