The biology of a gecko’s foot that gives the lizard its remarkable climbing ability has been used by engineers at Stanford University to create a robot that can climb smooth surfaces including a wall ...

Geckos may be good at selling car insurance, but they're even better at climbing walls. Which is why Stanford's Biomimetics and Dexterous Manipulation Lab used the acrobatic reptiles as the model for ...

(Nanowerk News) A Stanford mechanical engineer is using the biology of a gecko's sticky foot to create a robot that climbs. In the same way the small reptile can scale a wall of slick glass, the ...

A Stanford mechanical engineer is using the biology of a gecko's sticky foot to create a robot that climbs. In the same way the small reptile can scale a wall of slick glass, the Stickybot can climb ...

There is a wide array of obstacles facing the drone deliveries proposed by Amazon and Google. If the deliveries do happen, however, researchers from the mechanical engineering lab at Stanford ...

When naming robots, I want to encourage all of you researchers to go for the obvious choice, that way we know what we're getting. Case in point: Standford's StickyBot. Giant robotic booger? No, it's a ...

A number of climbing robots have been designed and created by Stanford, but yesterday at Stanford’s National Robotics Week, they unveiled Stickybot III. A new climbing robot capable of sticking to ...

We thought MIT's slime-climbing robo-snail was pretty, er, slick, but we have to admit that our new fave wall-climber has got to be Stanford's Stickybot. The robot gecko has feet coated with a polymer ...

Mark Cutkosky, the lead designer of the Stickybot, a professor of mechanical engineering and co-director of the Center for Design Research, has been collaborating with scientists around the nation for ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- The science behind gecko toes holds the answer to a dry adhesive that provides an ideal grip for robot feet. Stanford mechanical engineer Mark Cutkosky is using the new material, ...
