The “smart adhesion” of gecko is discussed. It is shown that gecko achieves very high adhesion as well as the ability to detach easily at will due to a hierarchical organization of attachment pads. Experimental data and theoretical models are presented. Properties of a biomimetic adhesive tape using the gecko-effect are reviewed.
