| Abstract: | A bio-inspired suction cup actuated by drape memory alloy (SMA) for miniature wall climbing robots ls developed based on studying characteristics of biological suction apparatus. Some fast control strategies are introduced to improve negative pressure response. model of the suction cup is built,and simulation and experiments results indicate the effectiveness of the fast control strategies. The largest negative pressure of the suction cup can reach 14 000 Pa,and its generating and cancelling just need 5 s. Research results Indicate the suction cup can be used as an adhesion mechanism for miniature wall climbing robots. |
