Snail robotic climbs vertical partitions with out leaving a slimy path
Snails are nice at climbing vertical surfaces, despite the fact that they’ve only a single moist suction-cup foot. A brand new bio-inspired robotic climbs partitions by mimicking that straightforward but efficient mechanism, though fortunately it leaves a path of water as a substitute of mucus. Often known as the sliding suction robotic (SSR), the proof-of-concept…
