Gecko gripper could clean up space junk

A “gecko gripper” could clean up the millions of pieces of space junk floating in space. The gecko gripper is a mechanical attachment for a robot that can grasp surfaces using adhesive inspired by the pads of a gecko’s feet. The technology could be especially useful in space because the gecko adhesive doesn’t require any force to attach to a surface. “The texture of it is too fine to see, but if you were to look at it under a microscope, you would see a forest of little tiny, sharp wedges,” says Mark Cutkosky, professor of mechanical engineering at Stanford University, whose lab co-developed the gripper with professor of aeronautics and astronautics Marco Pavone.
