STRIDE ((Surface Tension Robotic Insect Dynamic Explorer) which uses miniature motors and on-board power source to walk on water similar to biological water strider insects.   The robot is deployed to a small pool by an user, and two rotating side legs of the robot propels it linearly until to the end of the pool.  In the light area, the water surface deformation due to the water repellent materials on the robot 12 supporting legs and capillary waves generated due to the propulsion on the water surface can be seen.
