A robotic gecko has been added to the local robotic zoo that already includes a tuna, a dog, a smaller dog, a lobster, a lamprey, a clam, and a whole school of fish.
The MIT Biomimetics Lab’s “Stickybot“ has footpads that mimic a gecko’s, allowing it to scale walls. The robot could be used in military surveillance and search and rescue.
The biomimetics lab is also working on a robot inspired by the cheetah, according to MIT. Yikes.
