RiSE Climbing Robot from Boston Dynamics
     



Using micro-claws or sticky material (depending on the task at hand),
RiSE can climb up trees, fences and vertical walls with help from his
surface-conforming body and rigid tail.  
Video of RiSE at Boston
Scientific's website shows off his capabities.
RiSE is 25cm long, weighs to 2 kg and uses 2 motors per leg.
Sensors include inertial measuring, joint positions,
strain and foot contact.  Boston Dynamics is working
on future versions using dry adhesion to tackle vertical
climbing on glass and other slick surfaces.
