Rapid modulation of normal-direction adhesion and tangential-direction friction constitutes the fundamental interfacial contact mechanics that enable climbing locomotion for geckos, spiders, katydids and locusts.Apart from hooked claws, the universal attachment structure for rough substrates, creatures commonly adopt micro-nano seta arrays or compliant smooth friction pads on their plantar surfa...

Numerous climbing creatures in nature, including geckos, flies, spiders and beetles, are capable of crawling and clinging to vertical surfaces and even ceilings. This capability originates from aggregated van der Waals forces generated between the microstructures on their foot pads and substrate surfaces, which produce robust adhesion sufficient to sustain their body weight. Biological adhesio...

Locomotion is an essential attribute of animals. To move, animals must first perceive their surroundings, encompassing both the external environment and internal bodily conditions. Perceptual signals are transmitted to the brain for multi-information fusion and decision-making. Upon decision completion, motor commands are generated to trigger muscle contraction. Driven by these commands, limb...
