Hybrid mobile robots with two motion modes of a wheeled vehicle and truss structure with the ability to climb poles have significant flexibility. The motion planning of this kind of robot on a pole has been widely studied, but few studies have focused on the transition of the robot from the ground to the pole. In this study, a locomotion strategy of wheeled-legged pole-climbing robots (the WL_PCR) is proposed to solve the problem of ground-to-pole transition. By analyzing the force of static and dynamic process in the ground-to-pole transition, the condition of torque provided by the gripper and moving joint is proposed. The mathematical expression of Centre of Mass (CoM) of the wheeled-legged pole-climbing robots is utilized, and the conditions for the robot to smoothly transition from the ground to the vertical pole are proposed. Finally, the feasibility of this method is proved by the simulation and experimentation of a locomotion strategy on wheeled-legged pole-climbing robots.

A new method tracing the load-deflection equilibrium path of a truss with doubly nonlinearity is proposed. The total global stiffness matrix equation has been formulated in terms of nodal coordinates, iteration formulations has been written through adopting a single control coordinate, so that an new method tracing the load-deflection equilibrium path has been proposed. Analysis results of Star dome truss and Schwedeler dome truss have shown that the proposed method is stable numerically, quick in convergence, high in degree of accuracy and easy in use. The proposed method can be used for large-scale truss structure.
