Bioinspired and biomimetic micro-and nanostructures have a high significance in the field of
biomedicine. In this review, the possible applications of these micro-and nanostructures that …

Once working at heights is dangerous, it is a significant accident. These accidents brought
substantial economic losses and caused a large number of casualties. Therefore, it is …

Stickybot is a bioinspired robot that climbs smooth vertical surfaces such as glass, plastic,
and ceramic tile at 4 cm/s. The robot employs several design principles adapted from the …

The maintenance and inspection of large vertical structures with autonomous systems is still
an unsolved problem. A large number of different robots exist which are able to navigate on …

Directional arrays of branched microscopic setae constitute a dry adhesive on the toes of
pad-bearing geckos, nature's supreme climbers. Geckos are easily and rapidly able to …

To improve the adhesive properties of artificial fibrillar contact structures, the attachment
systems of beetles from the family Chrysomelidae were chosen to serve as a model …

Climbing robots are robotic systems to move over 2D or complex 3D environments such as
walls, ceilings, roofs, and geometric structures and to conduct various tasks. They will not …

A new approach for climbing hard vertical surfaces has been developed that allows a robot
to scale concrete, stucco, brick and masonry walls without using suction or adhesives. The …

We describe the design and control of a new bio-inspired climbing robot designed to scale
smooth vertical surfaces using directional adhesive materials. The robot, called Stickybot …

Many species of animals and plants are supplied with diverse attachment devices, in which
morphology depends on the species biology and the particular function in which the …
