摘要：
环境监测用于表征生物与其环境之间的健康状况和关系。在森林生态系统中，机器人可以作为获取此类数据的平台，即使在难以到达的地方，巡线平台因其高效的位移能力而特别有前景。本文介绍了RaccoonBot，这是一种用于持续环境监测的新型自主巡线机器人，具有带自锁机制的故障安全机械设计，以防电力短缺。该机器人还通过一种新颖的太阳能跟踪算法实现能量感知移动性，该算法使机器人能够在电线上找到位置，以直接接触太阳能，从而增加收集的能量。实验结果验证了RaccoonBot的机电特性，表明它能够处理电线扰动、不同倾斜角度，并实现能量自主。
英文摘要：
Environmental monitoring is used to characterize the health and relationship between organisms and their environments. In forest ecosystems, robots can serve as platforms to acquire such data, even in hard-to-reach places where wire-traversing platforms are particularly promising due to their efficient displacement. This paper presents the RaccoonBot, which is a novel autonomous wire-traversing robot for persistent environmental monitoring, featuring a fail-safe mechanical design with a self-locking mechanism in case of electrical shortage. The robot also features energy-aware mobility through a novel Solar tracking algorithm, that allows the robot to find a position on the wire to have direct contact with solar power to increase the energy harvested. Experimental results validate the electro-mechanical features of the RaccoonBot, showing that it is able to handle wire perturbations, different inclinations, and achieving energy autonomy.
