Abstract: A system for deploying a magnetic robotic crawler onto a surface of an elevated asset, the crawler being of the type that is capable of magnetically attaching to and traversing the surface. The system comprises an extendable pole having a proximal end and a distal end. The system also comprises a docking station having a housing for receiving the crawler. The docking station is provided at the distal end of the pole. The docking station also includes magnetic feet mounted at a distal end of the housing and configured to magnetically couple with the surface. The system can also comprise an extendable pole having a proximal end and a distal end and an end effector attached to the distal end. Specifically, the end effector is configured to selectively attach to and detach from a complementary shaped receiver provided on the crawler.

Abstract: Provided is a linear motion mechanism having a further enhanced strength of a structure.
The linear motion mechanism including an intermediate link including a conversion mechanism that converts a rotational force from a motor into a driving force in a linear direction, the intermediate link extending in the linear direction, a first link that linearly moves toward a first side in the linear direction from an end of the intermediate link on the first side on the basis of the driving force in the linear direction, and a second link that linearly moves toward a second side opposite to the first side from an end of the intermediate link on the second side on the basis of the driving force in the linear direction, in which the first link and the second link linearly move symmetrically in the linear direction in conjunction with each other.-

Abstract: Devices, systems and methods of controlling movement of a host mechanical system using inertial forces imparted by an augmentable or morphable appendage. Such appendages are attached to the host mechanical system such that augmentation or morphing of the appendage to move a mass of the appendage from an extended to a retracted configuration imparts inertial forces to the supporting structure. Augmentation/morphing is controlled and coordinated such that imparted inertial forces facilitate a desired movement of the mechanical system. The imparted forces can include translation forces and/or rotational forces along one or more axes. The augmentation or morphing of the appendage can be performed concurrently with separately controlled coordinated movement of the appendage to facilitate a desired movement of the mechanical system. Such appendages can include, but are not limited to, telescoping and/or folding designs.

Abstract: A linear motion mechanism has a plurality of linear motion elements assembled telescopically in multiple stages, and a block row connected to the linear motion elements and configured to drive the linear motion elements. A drive mechanism feeds the block row from an accommodating portion to extend the linear motion elements and pulls back the block row to the housing to contract the linear motion elements. The wire body is wired along the block row. A detour member is provided to absorb the excess length of the wire body which varies as the block row is fed and pulled back.
