Title
Active Sensing for Measuring Contact of Thin Film Gecko-Inspired Adhesives.
Abstract
Active sensing provides a way to assess whether a thin film of gecko-inspired adhesive has made good contact with a surface. This knowledge is useful for applications like gripping objects in space where a failed grasp could lead to loss of the object. Our active sensing approach uses Lamb waves in thin bilayers, excited, and detected by piezoelectric strips. From the theory, we describe how atten...
