“…Long-term mutation and selection provide rich experience accumulation for organisms. One of the basic ideas of bionics is to learn such natural experience to solve problems in the technological development and meet the needs of production. − For example, the self-cleaning effect of the lotus leaf surface is applied to prepare functional surface coating and thin films; − the multistage micro–nanostructure of gecko claws is studied to design super adhesive materials and wall-climbing robots; , the nacre pile structure is modified to design high strength composite materials. , The learning process is like searching through a database called “nature” and adding what is of interest to the database of “human cognition”. The biggest characteristic of this active learning process is that it can create new theories and methods in a short time, most of which are beyond the scope of conventional understanding.…”

The unique living environment of aquatic plants makes them produce many fantastic properties different from land ones. For instance, the leaves of Myriophyllum spicatum show excellent hydrophobicity and aerophily characteristics. In this paper, the abundant morphological structure, composition, and aerophily properties of Myriophyllum spicatum leaves are revealed. The contact angle of the leaf surface can reach 122° in air, exhibiting wonderful gas collection ability under water. The results showed that the aerophily of the leaves is attributed to the multistage micro–nanostructure and waxy layer on the surface. The gas transportation toward the tips of leaves is based on the void gradient formed by the nanoscale morphology at different growth stages and the buoyancy as well. These features provide bionic experience for gas collection, bubble transportation, and liquid resistance reduction in water environments.

They can adapt to different substrate surfaces (Kim et al (2008)) and even carry 100x their own weight (e.g., 9g climber (Hawkes et al (2015))).…”

Geckos use millions of dry bristles on their toes to adhere to and rapidly run up walls and across ceilings. This has inspired the successful development of dry adhesive materials and their application to climbing robots. The tails of geckos also help realize adaptive and robust climbing behavior. Existing climbing robots with gecko-inspired tails have demonstrated improved locomotion performance. However, few studies have focused on the role of a robot’s gecko-inspired tail when climbing a sloped surface and its effects on the overall locomotion performance. Thus, this paper reviews and analyzes the roles of the tails of geckos and robots in terms of their climbing performances and compares the advantages and disadvantages of robots’ tails made of rigid and soft materials. This review could assist roboticists decide whether a tail is required for their robots and which materials and motion types to use for the tail in order to fulfill their desired functions and even allow the robots to adapt to different environments and tasks.
