FOOT OF WALKING COSMIC MICROBOT Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC B25J5/00 B25J7/00 B64G99/00 

FIELD: robotics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to robotics, namely to walking area-mobile robots, and is intended to carry out work in extreme situations, mainly in deep sky and to accomplish on-planet missions. Foot of walking cosmic microbot is made in form of a plate fixed to the surface of its contact with moving surface by means of fixation. In this case, the foot is connected to the foot with heel using a hinge with one degree of freedom. Plate is made of a flexible dielectric material with rigid elements placed on it with intervals between themselves, so that their total area on unit of surface area of plate monotonically decreases from heel to toe. Means of fixation is made in form of separate conductors, which are not in contact with each other and covered with a layer of dielectric, connected to different poles of voltage source.

EFFECT: invention provides increased reliability of fixation on displacement surface.
