Scientists continue to work on animals. Among the animals in which various experiments were performed, from spiders legs, webs and even themselves are not scary to some people, but quite scary to others. During the past years cobweb and convert vibrations into sound a new technical developed with this technique vibrations in the networks were turned into music.
arachnophobia In other words, a study has been done to make people who are afraid of spiders even more afraid. Faye Yap, a graduate engineering student, and her Rice University colleagues and mechanical engineer Daniel Preston have teamed up to develop a method that turns dead spiders into mechanical grips, or robots.
Robots made from dead spiders are called “Necrobots”
Spider legs have a structure that can grip large, delicate and shapeless objects firmly and gently without breaking them. spiders, extension in front of legs without muscles called the prosoma chamber or cephalothorax they move with hydraulic pressure. Spiders have a feature that shrinks, directs internal body fluid to their legs and allows them to grow taller.
The team conducting the study inserted a needle into the prosoma chamber, the curled leg of a dead spider, and using a bead of superglue created a seal around the tip of the needle. Injecting even a little bit of the needle activated the spider’s legs, and in less than a second, the legs started to move completely. later, this necrobotic They attached the legs of spiders, called spiders, to an electrical breadboard and used the legs of a dead spider to hold various objects and electronics, most notably to move a block of polyurethane foam.
Spider could carry a spider as big as itself
Because spider legs work with hydraulic pressure, the hydraulic system will stop working when they die. The muscles in the spider’s legs become useless and the spider curls up. Spiders are biodegradable, so use them as robot parts will reduce the amount of robot waste is being considered.
In studies, a dead spider’s legs are the same size as itself. can bear the weight of another spider arise as a result of experiments. Spider legs have also proven to be quite robust, as they can go through 1,000 on-off cycles before experiencing wear and tear.
The researchers tried wax-coating the spiders and found that the decrease in mass over 10 days was 17 times less than that of the unwax-coated spider. system can run longer.
