Optimization design of electrostatic adhesion films: Based on theoretical modeling and experimental verification

Abstract

Electrostatic adhesion technology, with its adaptability and low power consumption, shows great potential in spacecraft repair and wall-climbing robots. This study develops a theoretical model of electrostatic adhesion force based on Laplace's equation, analyzing the effects of key parameters such as electrode voltage, insulation layer thickness, electrode width, and spacing. Using LINGO software for optimization design, optimal configurations are determined. An experimental platform was set up to test adhesion force under various parameter configurations. Theoretical and experimental results are highly consistent, verifying the model's accuracy and providing valuable insights for the design and optimization of electrostatic adhesion films.
