This paper presents a large-scale climbing robot that employs a parallel mechanism with three translational degrees of freedom as its locomotion method. Using a robot frame having a triangular pyramid shape, the robot provides a good stability during the locomotion and task execution. Three suction cups, called the perimeter cups, are attached to the vertices of the robot’s pyramid base, whereas t...
