Waterman Robot from School of Chemical Engineering and Technology
While Russian developers are looking for investment in the startup Unmanned High-Speed Helicopter , the engineers of the School of Chemical Engineering and Technology have created a water hammer, who is capable of not only jumping on water, but also not drowning.
The main secret of artificial water strider is on six paws, which are covered hydrophobic (water repellent) nickel foam, it allows it not to fall under the water.

Technical characteristics of this device:
It is worth noting that the jumping technique was borrowed from fleas.
But what did the previous prototype of the water strider look like? He could only move slowly along the surface of the water.
