Scientists at the Biorobotics Laboratory at Seoul National University, have created a robot inspired by the water strider bug, which is capable of running on water. Researchers collected bugs to video their movements and study the complex mechanics that help them jump off of the water The robot, named “Water Strider,” can be controlled using an Arduino microcontroller, and it has been programmed to swim in water, but not too far from its home base.
