Biomimetic Robotics Lab-MIT | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it

quadruped robot capable of climbing smooth surfaces, such as glass, acrylic and whiteboard using directional adhesive. The design is mostly inspired by morphologic study of the best climber, Gecko lizard.

 

The robot is operated by 12 servo motors controlled by PIC controller with force sensors. Stickybot is the incarnation of biomimetic design constituents that I invented, including underactuated hierarchical system, cable driven actuation and passive compliance-based force control scheme...
