DOI: 10.1002/smll.202505390
Abstract: The water striders demonstrate exceptional agility in dynamic water-surface locomotion, enabling them to effectively avoid obstacles and evade predators. While current bioinspired jumping water strider robots predominantly rely on water pressure, which stores mechanical energy… read more here.
