This paper presents the design, analyses, and fabrication of a tank-like wall-climbing robot using gecko-inspired dry adhesives. The robot uses customized timing adhesive belts, which is flexible as well as patterned using MEMS techniques. The Kendall strip tape model is modified, considering features of the timing belt, to analyze the peeling process of the viscoelastic tread. The relationship between...
This paper proposes the design and experiment of a bioinspired wall-climbing robot with spiny arrays. Inspired by the Serica orientalis Motschulsky's tarsal system, a spiny structure is designed, and the robot's foot which has two grippers using the structure is designed. An inchworm-like gait is employed and its trajectory is planned. The robot's foot as well as the whole prototype is fabricated...
