Geckos

Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2011
In this paper we present Geckos, a new type of tangible objects which are tracked using a Force-Sensitive Resistance sensor. Geckos are based on low-cost permanent magnets and can also be used on non-horizontal surfaces. Unique pressure footprints are used to identify each tangible Gecko.

Adhesion Enhancement of Micropillar Array by Combining the Adhesive Design from Gecko and Tree Frog.

Small, 2020
It has long been demonstrated the gecko-inspired micropillar array with T-shape tips possesses the best adhesion performance of a given material. The further enhancement of the adhesion performances of T-shape micropillars can offer redundant adhesion to

Gecko: Versatile Text Embeddings Distilled from Large Language Models

arXiv.org
We present Gecko, a compact and versatile text embedding model. Gecko achieves strong retrieval performance by leveraging a key idea: distilling knowledge from large language models (LLMs) into a retriever.

An Electrostatic/Gecko-Inspired Adhesives Soft Robotic Gripper

IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 2020
Compared to traditional grippers, soft grippers can typically grasp a wider range of objects, including ones that are soft, fragile, or irregularly shaped, but at the cost of a relatively low gripping force.

An electrically active gecko-effect soft gripper under a low voltage by mimicking gecko's adhesive structures and toe muscles.

Soft Matter, 2020
With the combination of the passive adhesion generated by micro/nano-structures at their feet and the active mechanical stimulus of their toe muscles, geckos can stably walk on vertical walls and horizontal ceilings.

Gekko gecko

2023
Gekko gecko (Linnaeus, 1758) — Non-native; Established. Lacerta Gecko Linnaeus, 1758: 205. Syntypes (2): UUZM 17 and 35, according to de Lisle et al. (2021: 249); type material previously considered lost, according to Andersson (1900: 13). Type locality: “[h]abitat in Indiis, frequens etiam in domibus”, in error; later designated as “ Java ”, Indonesia
