This paper designed a pneumatic soft climbing robot by utilizing the high flexibility of soft materials. Capabilities of climbing and creeping through small spaces would rarely possible with a method based only on rigid links. At first, according to the drive mode of pneumatic networks, a model for soft climbing robots with different section having their independent stiffness was designed; afterwa...
