Mini Review: Comparison of Bio-Inspired Adhesive Feet of Climbing Robots on Smooth Vertical Surfaces

Abstract: Developing climbing robots for smooth vertical surfaces (e.g., glass) is one of the most challenging problems in robotics. Here, the adequate functioning of an adhesive foot is an essential factor for successful locomotion performance. Among the various technologies (such as dry adhesion, wet adhesion, magnetic adhesion, and pneumatic adhesion), bio-inspired dry adhesion has been actively studied and successfully applied to climbing robots. Thus, this review focuses on the characteristics of two different type… Show more

“…Other areas where arachnids are increasingly being seen as an inspiration in the development of novel materials includes examining spider leg movement patterns for inspiration in the development of moving robot parts (Landkammer et al, 2016), likewise the hair-like structures of spider and harvestmen feet are inspiring new adhesives for use in climbing robots, sensors, space exploration, and footwear (Wolff et al, 2014;Wolff et al, 2016;Wolff et al, 2017b;Borijindakul et al, 2021), and scorpion fluorescence molecules are inspiring the design and synthesis of molecular switches, chelates, other therapeutic molecules (Samundeeswari et al, 2021).…”

“…Dry adhesion. Borijndakul et al [ 115 ] briefly reviewed the characteristics of bio-inspired adhesive foot microstructures used on the climbing robots for smooth vertical surfaces, namely spatula-shaped feet and mushroom-shaped feet. Kalouche et al [ 116 ] developed the ACROBOT climbing robot for inspecting equipment racks in the International Space Station.…”

“…The bottom layer contains a bio-inspired adhesive material. The non-directional adhesive material was chosen as the bottom layer material because of its reliable and promising adhesive ability [18]. The microstructure [19] of the adhesive material used in the robot's foot mechanism is shown in figure 3(h).…”
