Rock climbing palm based on arrays of linearly-constrained micro-spines

Published on Nov 18, 2016

100x120mm palm covered with linearly-constrained micro-spines for large shear adhesion of up to 70kg on rough surfaces. This work is part of a collaboration among Stanford, Duke and UCSB to enable RoboSimian to climb steep rocky surfaces. For more details: MultiLimbedClimbing
