Design of a Biologically Inspired Water-Walking Robot Powered by Artificial Muscle
Micromachines, 2022 The agile and power-efficient locomotion of a water strider has inspired many water-walking devices. These bioinspired water strider robots generally adopt a DC motor to create a sculling trajectory of the driving leg.

Analysis of antioxidants in water striders (Hemiptera: Gerridae) as bioindicator of water pollution
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2022 The antioxidant enzyme system is an important defense mechanism to cope with Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) produced due to exposure to heavy metals. In the present study lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd) and nickel (Ni) in water and ...

Matlab codes for water strider jumping model
, 2022 Matlab code for water strider jumping model. You can run it after you enter empirical morphological data of water striders (e.g., data_input_example scripts). If you want to simulate drag-utilizing jump, run jump_with_drag.

Flexible Driving Mechanism Inspired Water Strider Robot Walking on Water Surface
IEEE Access, 2020 The agile and efficient locomotion of water striders on water surface is attributed to the water repellency ability of their slender legs. The legs are usually treated as rigid beams, neglecting the effect of flexible deformation on its movement. Several

Drag reduction of a miniature boat with superhydrophobic grille bottom
AIP Advances, 2011 Water strider can slide on water surface with a very small drag force using its long superhydrophobic legs. Inspired by the water strider legs, we report here a novel design of superhydrophobic grille structure for drag reduction.

Water striders adjust leg movement speed to optimize takeoff velocity for their morphology
Nature Communications, 2016 How water striders escape from danger by jumping vertically from the water surface without sinking is an open question in biomechanics. Yanget al. show that water strider species with varying leg lengths and body masses tune their leg movements to ...

Evolution of a novel appendage ground plan in water striders is driven by changes in the Hox gene Ultrabithorax. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2009 Water striders, a group of semi-aquatic bugs adapted to life on the water surface, have evolved mid-legs (L2) that are long relative to their hind-legs (L3).
