Summary

The potential advantages of gecko-inspired robots have been discussed and related to the particular problems of robotic systems in space. Different approaches to climbing robots in general have been introduced and, in particular, differing approaches to gecko-inspired systems have been discussed. The phenomenon of dry adhesion in nature has been introduced, along with methods for its recreation in engineered materials. Different designs for robots intended to take advantage of gecko-like dry adhesion have been conceived and prototyped, showing potential for further development. In particular, one design has been focused on the realisation of a robust and reliable system, while the other, using novel materials and actuators, has potential for miniaturisation. Potential future development work has been identified.
