Interested in robotics?? Electroadhesion

[Ken Mbuki]

So, how does electroadhesion work? When positive and negative charges are applied to adjacent electrodes of the rubber flaps, an electric field creates opposite charges 
across the flaps, causing electrostatic adhesion between the electrodes. Besides the technique’s ability to handle delicate objects, it also delivers impressive clamping pressure, reportedly up to 100 times its own weight.
