Abstract
Complicated interactions of organisms with surrounding environments have been observed in natural systems. Such interactions serve as a key to understanding natural bio-locomotion and developing bio-inspired microrobots. While organisms migrate, ambient stimuli induce the organisms to modify their behaviors, resulting in quite different performances in response to a collection of external chemical and physical cues like attractants, toxins, touch, and fluid forces. In most situations, mechanical (hydrodynamic or adhesive) interaction between organisms and substrates is crucial for the organisms to survive and respond most. Also, ...
