ROBOCLIMBER has been built as a tele-operated climbing robot for slope consolidation and monitoring. The robot's main task is to perform deep drilling, thus reducing operation costs and working time. This system also avoids the operator presence in hazardous environments. ROBOCLIMBER consists of a climbing platform and an automatic drilling unit. The platform is hanged on a couple of ropes that provide support on irregular steep walls. The control system monitors the drilling process and collect data about ground features, thus allowing to detect unstable slopes.
