Its like a race to see who gets the design right. It seems there are more & more robot designs to clean the humble window. Yesterday, American design students were again at it to see who could cover the most parts of a glass with a system of removing dots.
The Gecko system is still in the running as more news pours out to discover just how they manage to walk, this time they reckon the've cracked it with "gecko tape".
The robotic problem is always the same with mimicking animals or insects bodys, we the know the seal is good with a ball & chimps may like sudoko, but wouldn't it be quicker to train the animals to do the job? The species of Mallorcan dogs over here have a natural ability to pad out fires & dolphins have been trained to blow up mines - who knows, donkeys may be great electricians? Anyway with all this monkeys & peanuts talk, could we actually get any animal or maybe a fish to do the job to an ISO standard?
