Light-driven soft climbing robot based on negative pressure adsorption
Many organisms rely on a dynamic attachment mechanism to climb surfaces. Inspired by these organisms, researchers have developed soft climbing robots. Despite their rapid development in recent times, such robots have restricted application in complex environments, such as the lack of remote wireless actuation and attachment ability for climbing tilted or slippery surfaces. To address these issues, we report a light-driven dynamic adsorption/desorption soft suction cup inspired by rock-climbing fish (Beaufortia kweichowensis). Our suction cups utilize the volumetric change caused by changes in the gas–liquid phase in the inner chamber to generate suction and thrust. The repetitive changes in the gas–liquid phase, controlled by photothermal conversion, help achieve adsorption and desorption. We demonstrated that the suction cups based on negative pressure adsorption can easily help miniaturize soft robotic devices and adapt to multiple types of substrates, making our approach applicable to tilted or slippery surfaces. By integrating the soft suction cups for surface attachment by dynamic control and a shape memory alloy as a deformable body, we developed a soft climbing robot that can perform precise, facile, and programmed controlled climbing under different conditions via remote light manipulation. Four continuous and directional climbing sequences on tilted and slippery surfaces were demonstrated. The results are expected to help advance the application of light-driven soft robots on tilted or slippery surfaces
期刊介绍:
The Chemical Engineering Journal is an international research journal that invites contributions of original and novel fundamental research. It aims to provide an international platform for presenting original fundamental research, interpretative reviews, and discussions on new developments in chemical engineering. The journal welcomes papers that describe novel theory and its practical application, as well as those that demonstrate the transfer of techniques from other disciplines. It also welcomes reports on carefully conducted experimental work that is soundly interpreted. The main focus of the journal is on original and rigorous research results that have broad significance. The Catalysis section within the Chemical Engineering Journal focuses specifically on Experimental and Theoretical studies in the fields of heterogeneous catalysis, molecular catalysis, and biocatalysis. These studies have industrial impact on various sectors such as chemicals, energy, materials, foods, healthcare, and environmental protection.
