Bionic Design for Mars Sampling Scoop Inspired by Himalayan Marmot Claw
Cave animals are often adapted to digging and life underground, with claw toes similar in structure and function to a sampling scoop. In this paper, the clawed toes of the Himalayan marmot were selected as a biological prototype for bionic research. Based on geometric parameter optimization of the c...
