Robots that can climb walls have been developed by scientists in the United States. The robots can scale surfaces using the same principles behind electrostatic charges, which make balloons stick to ceilings after being rubbed. Inside these tracks are materials with electro-adhesive properties, which mean that when a current is applied, the tracks are attracted to the wall, preventing the robots from falling off. The technology, called compliant electroadhesion, uses a very small amount of power and the robots can crawl at a speed of about one body length per second. The robots are being touted for use by the military, for reconnissance, for service applications and as toys. The robots can climb up and down a range of surfaces Source: BBC News |
