Robert Full y el movimiento animal

Animal feet hold surprising secrets that allow creatures to navigate almost any terrain, from cockroaches running at the human equivalent of 300 miles per hour on debris to geckos sprinting up walls using billions of microscopic hairs. Engineers are now borrowing these principles to design robots that can climb, swim, and maneuver over obstacles more effectively. By studying the diversity of animal feet, researchers have created artificial adhesives and climbing robots that outperform conventional engineering. Preserving nature's blueprints unlocks innovations that could help rescue people or revolutionize medicine.
