According to foreign media reports, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Lab have invented a quadruped bionic robot that has different climbing capabilities from other robots.
It utilizes a unique mechanism that can attach to rough vertical surfaces, which is very effective and relatively simple.
, (Source: Carnegie Mellon University) Some experimental robots can use suction-based grasping systems to climb smooth surfaces.
However, this type of technology is not suitable for rough surfaces such as rocks that cannot form a seal.
Another option is to use so-called microspine grippers, which contain a series of tiny pointed hooks that hook into small corners and cracks in the surface being climbed.
When the grip is lifted for the next step, the hook releases from the surface.
