Robot climbs cloth by rolling along a wringle

From IEEE Automation: http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/home-robots/clothbot-has-no-trouble-navigating-your-pants

From the Chinese Academy of Science, called Clothbot. It has two rollers/wheels that pinch the material into a wrinkle, then roll up (or down) this winkle like on a rail. Motors twist the tail/body and the wheels to change direction.
