The RiSE Version 3 robot looks freaky, it appears to be some type of small animal scampering up the pole. The University of Pennsylvania has some cool tech coming out of its Kod*lab.
"Unlike RiSE V1 and RiSE V2, this newer version adopted a quadrupedal configuration, and was designed by Boston Dynamics, with input from the RiSE Project consortium. RiSE V3 uses brushless DC motors that increase power density. Coupled with a dramatically different leg mechanism, this robot exhibits rapid climbing (upwards of 22 cm/s) up a vertical surface such as a telephone pole."
