The design of a soft-touch gripper is presented. This gripper consumes less than 60 W of power during grasp or release motions, is self-contained, inherently gentle, and can grasp delicate objects such as fruits or vegetables. The soft-touch gripper

Dry adhesives inspired from climbing animals, such as geckos and spiders, rely on van der Waals forces to attach to the opposing surface. Biological fibrillar dry adhesives have a hierarchical structure closely resembling a tree: the surface of the s

In this paper we present a method to create a hydrophobicity gradient on the surface of a Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) dry adhesive. The method consists of the partial silanization of the surface of the dry adhesive by Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD)

A magnetic field controllable dry adhesive device is manufactured. The normal adhesion force can be increased or decreased depending on the presence of an applied magnetic field. If the magnetic field is present during the entire normal adhesion test

This work presents electro-dry-adhesives, designed for use on conducting surfaces, that synergistically combine biomimetic dry adhesives with mushroom-like fibres and embedded conductive polymer electrodes. Together, the dry-adhesive surface and elec

Synthetic dry adhesives, designed to mimic the fibrillar structures found on geckos, have been fabricated using many different techniques ranging from indenting wax to involving photolithography and laser writing. While these techniques have been suc

The relatively large size of the gecko and its ability to climb a multitude of structures with ease has often been cited as the inspiration upon which the field of dry adhesives is based. Since 2010, there have been many advances in the field of dry

This work presents novel conductive bioinspired dry adhesives with mushroom caps that enable the use of a synergistic combination of electrostatic and van der Waals forces (electro-dry-adhesion). An increase in shear adhesion bond strength of up to 2

Geckos are capable of detecting detachment of their feet. Inspired by this basic observation, a novel functional dry adhesive is proposed, which can be used to measure the instantaneous forces and torques acting on an adhesive pad. Such a novel sensi
