Grasping without Squeezing -- Super Friction Gripper
Published on May 27, 2015
Quote:
This video shows our new conformal gecko adhesive film in action. It's super grippy yet not sticky at all. It behaves sort of like super friction. The video shows how the film can "palm" a basketball, yet still grab and release a balloon under its own weight. The work is being presented at ICRA 2015 and has been nominated for a best student paper award.
