The biology of a gecko’s foot that gives the lizard its remarkable climbing ability has been used by engineers at Stanford University to create a robot that can climb smooth surfaces including a wall ...

Geckos may be good at selling car insurance, but they're even better at climbing walls. Which is why Stanford's Biomimetics and Dexterous Manipulation Lab used the acrobatic reptiles as the model for ...

A Stanford mechanical engineer is using the biology of a gecko's sticky foot to create a robot that climbs. In the same way the small reptile can scale a wall of slick glass, the Stickybot can climb ...

When naming robots, I want to encourage all of you researchers to go for the obvious choice, that way we know what we're getting. Case in point: Standford's StickyBot. Giant robotic booger? No, it's a ...

A number of climbing robots have been designed and created by Stanford, but yesterday at Stanford’s National Robotics Week, they unveiled Stickybot III. A new climbing robot capable of sticking to ...
