Research on Theoretical Models of Synthetic Geckos´ Adhesion Technology

The research on geckos´ adhesion states that the force of geckos´ foot hairs adhering to the substrate is van der Waals force. Based on the research of the geckos´ hairs, we assure two of models: single gecko spatula adhesive dynamical model and single gecko spatula pulling-off adhesive surfaces´ dynamical model. These theoretical models contribute to the synthetic geckos´ foot hairs manufacturing and provide the theoretical instruction to the manufacturing. Using design of the robot foots which are used by the synthetic geckos´ adhesion technology, the climbing performance for the robot will be improved greatly
