1. A climbing robot that can move along a post having a vertical axis Oz, comprising: a frame fitted with a motorized movement means for moving along the post and with a module for controlling and commanding the motorized movement means, wherein the motorized movement means further comprises bracing means of which the center of gravity G is at a distance from the axis Oz of the post and which comprises at least two rolling contact elements designed to be in contact with the post, including at least one motorized rolling contact element being a propulsion contact element, said propulsion contact element having a friction contact with the post, at a distance from G, the robot being at an inclination relative to the axis Oz, and a coefficient of friction of the propulsion contact element and the inclination of the robot relative to the axis Oz being linked together so as to ensure that the robot is kept in a fixed position without consumption of energy, including means for orienting the robot rotationally about the vertical axis Oz. |
