Data on Robotics - Nanotechnology - Biomimetics Discussed by Researchers at University of California

摘要

2011 APR 25 - (VerticalNews.com) -- A new study, 'Numerical analysis of a uniquernmode of locomotion: vertical climbing by Pacific lamprey,' is now available. According tornrecent research published in the journal Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, "Pacific lampreys arerncapable of climbing vertical wetted surfaces through a two-phase (bending and stretching) locomotion mode using the oral disc for adherence. We investigate the physical mechanism andrnperformance of this process by using a continuous beam model."
