It was developed at Cambridge, Massachusetts. Robostrider does not break the surface layer of the water despite leg speeds of 18 centimetres per second (7.1 in/s) it generates both capillary waves and vortices while in motion, as do Gerridae. Hu and Bush state that Robostrider moves \"in a style less elegant than its natural counterpart\" but point out that it can cover 20 centimetres (7.9 in) in five strides, with one winding."@en . . . . . . . . . . .
