25、geckos feet.They want to use the same design on their own robots.The metal robot looks like the gecko.It has four feet which can also walk up walls made of glass.However,it still has a more difficult time when it tries to walk upside down.Animals and plants can teach people a lot about design and en

26、gineering.When scientists and engineers have a problem,nature often has the answer.This science is called biomimetics(仿生学).Bio means“studying living things”and mimetics means“copying the movement of things”.In other words,scientists study animals and plants in order to copy the design.Take a whale(鲸
