Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have developed an adhesive that is the first to master the easy attach and easy release of the reptile’s padded feet. The material could prove ...

A scientist from California has made scaling walls à la Spider-Man a reality – with inspiration from a little lizard species. Elliot Hawkes, a PhD candidate in biomimetics engineering at Stanford ...

Most pool cleaners simply move around on the bottom of your pool however the NaTiddy Gecko Plus has been specifically designed to automatically climb the walls of your pool and clean them just as well ...

A new material relies on millions of tiny plastic fibers that can grip solids as the fabric slides across them, then quickly release those objects when pulled away vertically. The technology is based ...

For years, researchers have been trying to build a robot that mimics the gecko lizard's ability to scale walls and ceilings of any texture, even glass. But duplicating the specialized biology of the ...

A research article by scientists at the Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics developed a neural control algorithm to coordinate the adhesive toes and limbs of the climbing robot. The new ...

Researchers have built a tank-like robot that can climb smooth walls with the ease of a gecko scurrying about in the middle of the night. In fact, the robot was inspired by a scientific explanation ...

Jake Loosararian, the 33-year-old co-founder of Gecko Robotics, says he wouldn't have succeeded if he weren't willing to "go into the unknown and the dirty and unexplored." ...

The Greek philosopher Aristotle once questioned how a gecko could climb different surfaces. The answer, uncovered 2,000 years later, is weak intermolecular forces called Van der Waals forces. The ...
