Fig :- Gecko Gripper
The Gecko gripper robot , designed from NASA technology ,based on agile gecko Lizard.The main objectives of this robot is to provide a revolutionary support to the gripper technology. OnRobot gecko technology makes it possible to attach and lift any kinds of smooth surfaces. This innovation is awarded by innovation and entrepreneurship Award (IERA) at 2018.
Fig :- Gecko Lizard hand
According to NASA,This Gecko robot is an alternative and new solution for handling the object.The Gecko adhesive uses microscopic angled hair to stick surfaces using vander waals force. The adhesive can be turn on and off based on slight sliding motion due to the geometry of micro-structure. the adhesive are reusable for thousand of cycles without losing their effectiveness.
Kristan hulgard,OnRobot general manager,united states said that due to its smoothness the market reaction of Gecko gripper has been extremely positive.
