Surface-attached Locomotion

Surface-Attached Locomotion is a mode of bioinspired locomotion in which movement is achieved through continuous physical attachment to a substrate, distinguishing it from aerial or ballistic forms by relying on adhesion, friction, or grasping interactions to enable propulsion and stability.
