1. An electroadhesion device comprising:
a layer including multiple electrodes;
a power supply connected to the multiple electrodes, wherein the power supply is configured to provide a voltage output to the multiple outputs; and
a surface sensor configured to measure one or more characteristics of a target surface, wherein the voltage output is modified based on the one or more characteristics of a target surface, wherein the voltage output to the multiple electrodes from the power supply causes the multiple electrodes to generate an electroadhesive force that secures the electroadhesion device to the target surface, and wherein the electroadhesive force prevents removal of the electroadhesion device from the target surface.
