By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-New research on robotics is the subjec t of a new report. According to news originating from Tsukuba,Japan,by NewsRx correspondents,research stated,"Many insects are able to walk vertically or up side down on both hard and soft surfaces. In beetles such as the ladybird (Cocci nella septempunctata),intermolecular forces between tarsal setae on the footpad s of the insects make this movement possible." Funders for this research include Innovative Science And Technology Initiative F or Security. Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from National Institute for Materials Science: "In prior work,adhesion structures made from polydimethy lsiloxane (PDMS) that mimic the action of the tarsal setae have been developed. It is proposed that these adhesion structures could be attached to a simplified version of the leg of a ladybird and used in practical applications. For example ,the leg structures could potentially be employed in small surveillance drones to enable attachment to surfaces during flights,in order to preserve battery po wer. Alternatively,the structures could be used in small robotic devices to ena ble walking on steeply inclined surfaces. In this program of work,the morpholog y and movement of the leg of a ladybird were closely studied using a 3D X-ray mi croscope and a high-speed microscope. The positions of the tendons that facilita ted movement were identified. From this knowledge,a simplified leg structure us ing pin-joints was designed and then fabricated using 3-D printing. The PDMS adh esion structures were then attached to the leg structure. The tendons in the act ual insect leg were replicated using thread."
