hii,
I am working on a robot project and i want it to drive on wall with tracks . so i did a little research and i saw a video that presents anew technology by SRI called electro adhesion
i have the video here:
so i want to apply this to my robot
i interested if anyone here ever experienced with this technology ?
is it possible to take it as DIY project ?
if not is anyone know if i can by a part that do that ?
where can i buy it ?
i also will be happy if anyone can lead me to any read about this subject.
thank you .
It looks like in order to use statis electricity the robot itself needs to be incredibly lightweight. The same principle is what you might do to get a balloon to stick to a wall. You need a way to generate static electricity; they seem to use plastic as a material underneath. That principle is likely at the research stage, so you might want to contact them directly for more details. Unfortunately we really don’t have any purpose-built products for this type of application.
i saw that there is a company called juststick that makes board for schools and office useing this technology so it cant be so bad
is anyone know a way to stick a robot to a wall that doesn’t include it to be ultralight ?
Some use a “hovercraft” principle to suction out all of the air between the robot and the wall (you find this often with toys).
Another approach is to use a sticky surface, or something with incredible grip.
Other research projects support the robot using rope.
