—In this work, we explore the mechanical behavior of gecko hairs by means of macromodels. The macromodel has four spatular hairs operating by magnetic forces instead of van der W...
— Recent studies on the insect water strider showed that the insect heavily relies on surface tension force to stay afloat. Inspired by this insect, water strider robots have be...
