Snails are helping robots climb skyscrapers
What do snails and robots have in common?🤔🐌 They both love to stick around!
Researchers at The University of Bristol have taken inspiration from a snail’s slime to develop this water-powered climbing robot.
It can stick to and move across surfaces using just a single sucker like a snail, but without leaving a slimy trail.
This innovative, clean technology could revolutionise inspections and repairs in hard-to-reach places like wind turbines, hulls of ships or skyscrapers.
