| A legged, climbing robot that adheres to surfaces using dry adhesion is presented. This style of robot has potential applications in the space industry, as dry adhesives (unlike suction, magnets, or conventional pressure sensitive adhesives) have the potential to function effectively on orbiting spacecraft. Dry adhesives, fabricated by previous researchers, were tested in simulated space environments. No reduction in adhesive performance was found for pressures down to 1 &... |
