The tree climbing robot includes a central body and a pair of track carriers respectively pivotally attached to opposed sides of the central body. A set of wheels is rotatably attached to each of the track carriers, and a continuous track is mounted on, and is driven to rotate by, each set of wheels. At least one motor is mounted on each of the track carriers, such that each motor drives a corresponding one of the sets of wheels and a corresponding one of the continuous tracks to rotate. At least one cable is secured to the central body and is adapted for wrapping around a trunk of a tree. Each of the track carriers is elastically biased with respect to the central body such that the trunk of the tree is clamped between the pair of tracks, with the cable adding securement, stability, and aiding vertical movement.
