Bio-inspired breakthrough in robotic handling inspired by geckos
In a novel approach to robotic handling, researchers have successfully developed a technique that allows fragile objects to be delicately transferred and released without any damage. Taking cues from the adhesive capabilities of geckos, a team of researchers from Kyungpook…
