Active tension system and method
A work machine may include an idler wheel, a drivable track engaged with the idler wheel, and an actuator configured to move the idler wheel to adjust the tension in the drivable track. A controller may actively instruct the actuator to adjust the tension in the drivable track based on the pressure in the actuator and variables associated with the drivable track and the work machine.

Robotic pool cleaner
A robotic pool cleaner includes a cleaning body, a drive and a cleaning roller brush mechanism. The robotic pool cleaner filters liquid and/or contaminants in a pool through the cleaning body. The drive mechanism is connected to the cleaning body, which is driven to move in the pool in a working process of the robotic pool cleaner. The drive mechanism includes a drive wheel with a first outer ring gear. The cleaning roller brush mechanism is coupled with the first outer ring gear through a transmission belt, so that the cleaning roller brush mechanism is driven by the first outer ring gear to rotate relative to the cleaning body when the drive motor drives the first outer ring gear to rotate. The robotic pool cleaner improves cleaning efficiency and reduces wear of a cleaning roller brush, thereby prolonging the service life of the cleaning roller brush mechanism.

CRAWLING WELDING ROBOT
The invention relates to a welding technical field and provides a crawling welding robot. The crawling welding robot includes a vehicle chassis and two crawler wheels connected to two opposite sides of the vehicle chassis, respectively, wheel carriers of two crawler wheels are movably connected with the vehicle chassis. In this way, when the crawling welding robot moves on a non-planar surface for welding, the two crawler wheels can freely adjust its posture relative to the vehicle chassis to adapt to the surface for welding and improve a degree of fit between the two crawler wheels and the surface for welding, making the moving direction of the crawling welding robot easier to be controlled and reducing a probability of the crawling welding robot slipping or falling from the surface for welding.
TRACKED CLIMBING MACHINE WITH COMPLIANT SUSPENSION APPARATUS
A tracked climbing vehicle containing a compliant suspension apparatus to prescribe the distribution of forces on the adhering members in the tracked climbing machine. The compliant suspension apparatus is configured to negotiate irregularities in a climbing surface without the vehicle tracks losing full surface contact and adhesion by distributing the loads from the climbing machine chassis to the adhering traction members in a specific prescribed fashion. The apparatus thus avoids exceeding the allowable force in any adhering traction member and significantly improves the performance of the climbing machine.
