Noise power on adhesion: New model may help robotic fingers, made of a soft surface, manipulate small objects |
December 17, 2012
A new model could ultimately help robotic fingers, made of a soft surface, manipulate small objects. Imagine a solid ball rolling down a slightly inclined ramp. Scientists have studied the effect of random noise, such as vibrations, on a ball. They found it could lower the energy barrier to set the ball in motion.
