Potential Future Publications

Fab and Performance - Aaron

• Chisel, 10s, 5s, angled wedges
• Currently low priority

Modeling shear, friction and adhesion with analytical models - Daniel

• uses lumped parameter simple analytical models to explain microwedge properties

Single Wedge Measurements - Daniel

• uses dual axis cantilever to make single hair measurement
• compare single hair and array behavior

Stickslip statistics - Daniel

• uses video images to get data on rates of stick and slip of wedges
• hope to find rate dependance on adhesion

Hierarchical climbing - Aaron

• using microwedge on DPS
• submitted to ICRA 2009
• also resubmit to a high end journal

FEA Modeling - Noé

• contact model with adhesion
• with Haneesh from Lew group
• they will publish paper on code
• Noé will use code to analyze our structure

Sphere and Wedge paper - Paul

• selectivity of adhesion
• size at which spheres adhere to wedges over flat surface
