  • THANK YOU YOU ARE THE BEST, I TOTALLY NEEDED THIS VIDEO, YOURE AMAZING MANN !!!!!

  • AMAZING SCIENCE!

  • it's so similar to the lizard! wow! amazing

  • this was on prototype this

  • did u make that

  • Is that Jonathan holding the safety rope?

  • TERMINATOR GECKO! Sweet.

  • Brilliant stuff, almost makes me not regret studying engineering *shudders*

  • amazing

  • i have four live geckos at home, i will breed them! They can do exactly what that robot did!

  • Mark Cutkosky is my uncle!

  • geckos use insanley tiny setae on their toes to create van der Waals force to hold them onto things, they estimate that if all of the surface area of a tokay geckos toes were in contact with a surface it could hold around 90 pounds off of a ceiling.

  • Hemidactylus frenatus (toes hairs)

    on everage per foot at least a half a million microscopic hairs, (one-tenth the thickness of a human hair).

    :o)

  • won si erutuf eht....

  • does anyone know whats used on the Geckos hands?..or is it just suction cups?

  • read the video description. Real Geckos have hair like suction cups called setae. This Robot has synthetically made setae.

  • omg does anyone know wha this means... SPIDEY CAN EXIST NOW!!!! :O

  • that's exactly what i was thinking

  • WOW. =] 3 words... I WANT ONE

  • Wow that's amazing!The gait looks just right. If it could do it faster it would be just like a gecko

  • coolest chids toy ever :p

  • That's awesome! I can't wait for "Gecko tape"!

  • What has science done!?

  • Needs a tongue - so it can clean dust off each foot after a few steps

    As this is a smarter gecko is should super glue a safety line as it goes

  • its using dry adhesion so it it does not get dirty like you would think it does.

  • Beautiful piece of engineering

  • it's fantastic!!!!

  • gloves would be cool, but if you fell off that would suck

  • Will this be in sale?

    i have an idea of making it to

    but without money and equipment hard

    so my idea was to make gloves and shoes just like this

    so plz can you tell me will this be in sale?

    thank you

  • man, i can't wait till the make gloves and boots with this stuff!

  • amazing

  • "The Pentagon is interested in developing gecko-inspired climbing gloves and shoes." Damn right they are. That's the first thing I thought of when I saw this.

  • jaja q chingon
