Controllable water surface to underwater transition through electrowetting in a hybrid terrestrial-aquatic microrobot

Some animals have multimodal locomotive capabilities to survive in different environments. Inspired by nature, Chen et al. build a centimeter-scaled robot that is capable of walking on water, underwater, on land, and transiting among all three, whose ‘feet’ break water by modifying surface tension....
