Systems and methods employing limbed vehicle and spaced posts

摘要

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to systems including a limbed vehicle having a plurality of controllably movable limbs (e.g., a limbed machine, limbed robot, etc.) and a plurality of spaced posts that the limbed vehicle may travel on using the limbs. As non-limiting examples, such disclosed embodiments of systems may be used to service an agriculture field, to enable travel over an environmentally-sensitive area or an area impassable by a conventional wheeled or tracked vehicle, and may be used in many other different applications. Embodiments disclosed herein also relate to methods of operating a limbed vehicle to travel on a plurality of spaced posts.

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
a plurality of spaced posts that are disposed at least partially in a support medium; a limbed vehicle including a plurality of controllably movable limbs, the limbed vehicle configured to travel on at least two of the posts using the controllably movable limbs; and wherein the plurality of spaced posts do not form part of the limbed vehicle.
