Subject: [Robonz] Local robot climbs walls
Message-ID: <3483E38924384FC6997616BB5FBE95C5@nextwindow.local>

http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-05-robot-supersonic-air-jets-climb.html

Instead of using sticky footpads to climb on walls and ceilings, a new robot takes advantage of fast-moving air that can generate an adhesion force on just about any kind of surface. The robot's grippers, which don't ever actually touch the surface as the robot climbs, operate on Bernoulli's principle of fluid dynamics. 

The robot was developed by researchers at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, with the results published in a recent ICRA paper by Matthew Journee, et al.
