Do beetles secrete oil-like liquids along their foot hairs in order to stick securely to surfaces? Can a robot’s feet be coated with a similarly viscous liquid to help get more adhesion by giving them a surface-tension component? Will secretions help feet adhere to rough surfaces by filling in the gaps, increasing capillary and intermolecular […]
