Ultrasonic and Electrostatic Self-Cleaning Microstructured Adhesives for Robotic Grippers

Vahid Alizadehyazdi, Elizabeth McQueney, Koki Tanaka, Matthew Spenko

IROS 2018poster

This paper introduces electrostatic and ultrasonic techniques to clean dust and other contaminants from the surface of a gecko-like, microstrutured adhesive. The result is a non-destructive, non-contact cleaning method that will afford robotic grippers, climbing robots, and perching robots the abili…
