An overview of the Parametric Contact Model (PCM) for climbing

New page for workshop: AnisotropicStructuresMeeting

For a discussion of our interactions on interfacing with Arachi's DE see GroupNeeds

For an annotated bibliography of relevent climbing works see ContactBib

For relevant information about biological data and models see ContactBio?

For information about foot prototypes, GRF data the like see ContactFeet?

Various types of contact models are possible

• Claw models
• AdhesionModels (adhesion, friction etc.) and AdhesionPrinciples from the physics and chemistry literature
• other models....
