Researchers Create Robot like Spiderman
Humans will be attached to the vertical walls like Spiderman, as researchers make progress fabric that resembles the foot lizard. This fabric has been tested on the robot.
Reported by the British Daily Telegraph, Stanford University scientists say sticky gloves and shoes that are being developed so that users can attach to and climb vertical walls.
Stanford researchers, Paul Day and Alan Asbeck create fabrics that are inspired by gecko foot which allows a small robot is coated textiles in the legs can climb glass or metal surfaces.
Technicians said they hoped to “enlarge the scale of” design for humans. Lizard can oppose gravity because of microscopic hairs on their fingers where to expand its surface area and create a “one-sided adhesive.”
Sticky binder was created for each step in which they will be damaged if they stepped in the opposite direction. Stanfrod University researchers have created a rubber-like material that consists of thousands of small polymer fibers mimic gecko hairs.
These hairs called setae in which ten times thinner than a human hair. Strong material and this can be used again, leaving no residue or damage and has been tested on “robot lizard” called Stickybot.
Stickybot can walk on the glass surface and scientists say they are in the process making the material “that allows people to climb with an adhesive lizard” is.
