Contribution of friction and adhesion to the reliable attachment of a gecko to smooth inclines
Abstract Geckos’ ability to move on steep surfaces depends on their excellent adhesive structure, timely adjustments on locomotor behaviors, and elaborates control on reaction forces. However, it is still unclear how they can generate a sufficient driving force that is necessary for locomotion, whil...
