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
