β-keratin gene amplification for effective climbing ability in human bots

β-keratin genes, crucial for adhesive properties, have undergone significant expansion through duplication. For effective climbing ability, the H-Bot requires approximately 80% coverage of its anterior body surface with setae. Ideal regions include the anterior torso, each arm (8% each), and each leg (16% each). To enhance surface area further, reducing mass or incorporating additional appendages like patagium or extra integumentary folds can be considered. Read more ...
