ClimBRO =( Climb Backing Robot )
Elementary movement patterns of climbing are carried by people already in infancy. It plays an important role in the ontogeny and „motor developement” (mozgásfejlődés / motorikus képesség
Probably this genetycally encrypted movement form makes many people to choose mountain climbing as their main sport / pastime, where they try to overcome gravity, forces of nature and their own limitations.
Is there a way to make this nice but, the more dangerous sport done safer? Of course, nature has it’s own response to this, as spider - the master of climbing.
My concept is to have an intelligent climbing robot as a mate, to make wall climbing more safer.
Likewise the spider protects itself with its own thread in motion, so the climber is continuously secured through a rope by a simultaneously moving machine.

The way to move together can be: tracking, guidance, or just accompaniment. In a case of drop off at the very moment the robot fixes its position to the wall and thereby stabilize the troubled climber.

If the rope stretched condition persists for a long time, the device immediately sends its GPS coordinates to the competent people who can start immediately to the location. However, emission of light signals can attract the attention.
The device’s structure requires light, but the more robust materials ( carbon fiber, polyurethane composit, PNC ).
In addition to the continous climb tracking the device has a freedom of positioning, in which its route is chosen according to the values obtained with the integrated ultrasonic radar. The robot moves where the surface is strong enough to create a potential anchor point.
It might be a long term goal that the recorded data about discoverd cliffs by robots are aggregated to a social networking site, which from users provided to choose and set good and safe climbing routes. This will also further strengthened the safety and popularity of climbing.
