Bio-Inspired Interlocking Micro-Patterning for Tunable, Switchable and Selective Adhesion in Wet and Dusty Environments. [PDF]
SmallA new class of microfastener geometries is proposed, coming from biomimetic considerations and design optimization based on an original theoretical framework that is validated through testing and simulations. Demonstrators are assembled to present the impact that this technology can have on multiple fields: From precision grasping to drug delivery ...
