Under natural conditions, barnacles, one of the most prominent marine hardfouling organisms, encounter a vast variety of heterogeneous surfaces including artificial ones, such as ship hulls on which they adhere efficiently. Despite intensive research

Barnacles are one of the most prominent hardfouling organisms in the marine environment. They are able to adhere efficiently to nearly every surface underwater including artificial ones like ship hulls and maritime installations. This overgrowing can

Barnacles are able to effectively adhere to most surfaces underwater. Dewetting of the corresponding surface prior to the release of their permanent adhesive plays an important role in the attachment process. Possibly, a surface that is able to inter

The louse fly Crataerina pallida is an obligate blood-sucking ectoparasite of the common swift Apus apus As a result of reduction of the wings, C. pallida is unable to fly; thus, an effective and reliable attachment to their host's plumage is of utmo

Based on the principles of morphological computation, we propose a novel approach that exploits the interaction between a passive anisotropic scale-like material (e.g., shark skin) and a non-smooth substrate to enhance locomotion efficiency of a robo
