TL;DR: This work provides the first direct experimental evidence for dry adhesion of gecko setae by van der Waals forces, and suggests a possible design principle underlying the repeated, convergent evolution of dry adhesive microstructures in gecko, anoles, skinks, and insects.
Small-scale soft-bodied robot with multimodal locomotion
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate magneto-elastic soft millimetre-scale robots that can swim inside and on the surface of liquids, climb liquid menisci, roll and walk on solid surfaces, jump over obstacles, and crawl within narrow tunnels.
