The researchers are hoping it can be applied to the transfer of objects by robotic systems.
Key Points:
- The researchers are hoping it can be applied to the transfer of objects by robotic systems.
- The structure and operation of the soft robotic device with dry adhesive.
- The dry but sticky secret of a gecko's foot lies in its coating of tiny hairs- made of protein- called micro setae.
- The researchers found that the addition of this twisting motion caused a ten-fold reduction in the force required for detachment, which could be vital when handling delicate materials.
