While many robotic water striders have been developed over the years, scientists continue to discover ingenious insect traits to mimic. Recently, researchers built a strider-bot that speeds across the water’s surface using foot-mounted fans. At just 3 mm in length, water striders from the genus Rhagovelia are truly remarkable. Feathery Leg Fans Feathery extensions on […]
