    Gecko Adhesive Climbing Robot, ACROBOT II

    Published on Jan 20, 2015

    Initial vertical climbing demonstration of ACROBOT II. ACROBOT II is a gecko adhesive enabled robot capable of climbing surfaces of any gravitational orientation or in full zero gravity. ACROBOT II has two perpendicular rack and pinion mechanisms which allow it to translate in the x and y directions.

    ACROBOT II was designed and developed by Simon Kalouche in NASA JPL's Extreme Environment Robotics Lab

    ACRobot zero gravity mobility

    Published on Dec 15, 2015

    ACRobot (Adhesive Climbing Robot) uses two pairs of directional gecko adhesive pads aligned in opposition to generate adhesion to surfaces in any gravitational orientation or in full zero gravity. This video shows successful climbing tests (sped up 24x) in micro-gravity aboard NASA's Vomit Comet Flights.

    ACRobot is a prototype designed for inspection applications on the International Space Station.
