In this paper, we propose a low cost, low power consumption tree climbing robot for multipurpose applications, such as surveillance or inspection tasks. This type of collaborative robot is able to support or assist in order to avoid risks and dangers. The robot has been constructed with minimal resources and is equipped with two pair of tree grippers that facilitate the robot to adhere and climb regular shaped trees without any branches. REDA has only with five actuators that were used in the mechanism. In consequence, it maintains a compact size and lightweight. REDA weighs only 800 g, it has payload capability of 1 kg. In this paper, we present the design, analysis and implementation of a low cost tree climbing robot.
