EEWOC uses an unusual locomotion scheme to climb complex steel structures. It uses magnetic grippers and an extendable tape spring limb to reach over 1.2m. This allows it to traverse gaps and obstacles much larger than other existing climbing robots. Its ability to bend allows it to reach around corners and over ledges, and it can transition between surfaces easily thanks to assistance from its wheels. The wheels also let it to drive more quickly and efficiently on the ground. These features make EEWOC well-suited for climbing the complex steel structures seen in real-world environments.
