Abstract
Snails offer successful attachment and locomotion on horizontal and vertical surfaces, and have inspired extensive research to develop artificial adhesives. Here, we experimentally investigate the response mechanisms of snails to mechanical signals (pull-off force and crawling angle), then propose a way to design a bioinspired sucker, and theoretically analysis its application in vacuum suction. The experimental results indicate that the...
