Modelling and Implementation of Out-Pipe Inspection Robot
21 Sep 2022
TL;DR: In this paper , a 3D model of the robot is made and exported to the ADAMS package for dynamic analysis, and the results show that for the robot to move along the pipeline, a force of a bout 100 N and a dynamic torque of 5 N are required.

Artiomimetic evolution of a new family of single-DOF parallel mechanisms with centralized motion
Ernesto Rodriguez-Leal,Jian S. Dai,Gordon R. Pennock +2 more
- 22 Jun 2009
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new design procedure, which aids the inventor in the conception of artiomimetic-based parallel mechanisms, and applied it to imitate the motion of a 5-RSP parallel manipulator.

Adhesive force of a single gecko foot-hair
Kellar Autumn,Yiching A. Liang,S. Tonia Hsieh,Wolfgang Zesch,Wai Pang Chan,Thomas W. Kenny,Ronald S. Fearing,Robert J. Full +7 more
TL;DR: The first direct measurements of single setal force are reported by using a two-dimensional micro-electro-mechanical systems force sensor and a wire as a force gauge and revealed that a seta is ten times more effective at adhesion than predicted from maximal estimates on whole animals.

Isaac M. Daniel,Ori Ishai +1 more
- 29 Dec 1994
TL;DR: In this paper, the behavior and properties of composite materials are analyzed and new material based on the author's research and advances in the field is presented. But the authors do not discuss the performance of the new material.

Evidence for van der Waals adhesion in gecko setae
Kellar Autumn,Metin Sitti,Yiching A. Liang,Anne M. Peattie,Wendy R. Hansen,Simon Sponberg,Thomas W. Kenny,Ronald S. Fearing,Jacob N. Israelachvili,Robert J. Full +9 more
TL;DR: This work provides the first direct experimental evidence for dry adhesion of gecko setae by van der Waals forces, and suggests a possible design principle underlying the repeated, convergent evolution of dry adhesive microstructures in gecko, anoles, skinks, and insects.
Defense by foot adhesion in a beetle (Hemisphaerota cyanea)
TL;DR: The beetle Hemisphaerota cyanea (Chrysomelidae; Cassidinae) responds to disturbance by activating a tarsal adhesion mechanism by which it secures a hold on the substrate.
