Researchers at the Bioinspired Robotics and Design Lab at UCSD have revealed a new robot design that's able to stick to smooth surfaces using a vibrating motor attached to a flexible disk. According ...

ON to the centre of a telephone vibrating disc, and perpendicular to its plane, a light needle ½ inch long was soldered, the disc held in a holder, mouth-piece, &c., the same as a telephone, and so ...

We report a custom-designed ball-on-disc tribometer that enables quantitative detection of the onset of surface damage in polymer composites under continuous sliding contact. Conventional tribometers ...
