Mechanical Gecko

China's "Technology Daily" November 15, 2008 reported New Concept Aircraft (ZHUHAI) Co., Ltd. Dr. Li Hiu Yeung and his research group have recently successfully developed the Mechanical Gecko "Speedy Freelander"[1].

The Mechanical Gecko "Speedy Freelander" is a new intelligent robot, it has a compact body and a flexible action. It is possible to be widely used in search, rescue, counter-terrorism, as well as scientific experiments and scientific exploration.


Mechanical Gecko "Freelander" comprehensively utilize the optical, electromagnetic sensing and new communication methods, and optical, mechanical and electronic integration technology. According to the introduction of Dr. Li of New Concept Aircraft (ZHUHAI) Co., Ltd., this gecko robot with the artificial intelligence can rapidly climbing up and down in a variety of building walls, ground and vertical wall fissure or walking upside down on the ceiling, it is able to adapt on smooth glass, rough or sticky dust walls as well as the various surface of metallic materials and also can automatically identify obstacles, circumvent the bypass and flexible and realistic movements.
