—Tankbot is a miniature, energy efficient, lightweight (60 g), and robust climbing robot. It uses the continuous detachment force (peeling) of the flat, bulk tacky elastomer tr...
It's often important to analyze shapes as made up of parts. But there are two ways to think of how parts fit together. We can characterize the remainder of a shape after a pa...
We present a new approach to surface reconstruction based on the Delaunay complex. First we give a simple and fast algorithm that picks locally a surface at each vertex. For that,...
—In this paper, the design, analysis, and development of a sixteen-legged palm-sized climbing robot using flat bulk tacky elastomer adhesives as an attachment method is presente...
