Crawling through various terrains has been a long research interest. In recent years, quite a number of soft crawling robots have been developed. However, locomoting in an elastic, humid, and slippery environment remains a challenge. In nature, gastropods, such as snails, live in humid environment and could crawl through all kinds of surface conditions by using wet adhesion. In the wet adhesive lo...
