Amazing Bionic Climbing Robot - C-Bot (GALLERY)
[Edit]
[Edit]
Check out this awesome bionic wall-climbing robot. The technology is based on biomimetics, where the robot mimics a gecko’s innovative foot design as a template to climb walls without any artificial adhesion. Even though we do not see it, but a gecko’s foot is hairy, fine enough to only be seen on the micro level. This molecular adhesion, combined with C-Bot’s array of ultrasonic sensors presents exciting and innovative applications. Theoretically you can build such a robot big and strong enough to carry a human up and down a wall.
The sensor emits ultra-sonic rays and gets the required information through specific ray reflection. Inner damages of buildings, like rust inside of reinforced concrete, or mildew infested walls, can be detected. Three symmetry axis enables the robots to move in different directions, without gearing. The complex leg architecture, qualifies the C-Bot to navigate and kind of edge or spherical surface - also vertical walls constitue no problem. C-Bot can be steered via GPS or a 3D-map with all required information can be uploaded on its hard disk.
