1.1 Concept of robot: After studying various methods to climb a rope or rod, we came to conclude that a coconut tree climbers method was the best suited for the job. It resembles the motion of a sloth. It uses both pairs of its limbs (fore limbs and hind limbs) to climb a rope and a tree. It moves both its hind limbs in one step and then both its fore limbs in another. Each pair of limbs acts as a gripper. Only one pair of limbs is used at a time for gripping the tree (while in motion) while…
