Abstract	As a member of robot families, climbing robots have become one of the research hot-spots in the robotic field recently and Gekko gecko (G. gecko) has been broadly seen as an ideal model for climbing robot development. But for gecko-mimic robots, one of the key problems is how to design the robot’s foot. In this paper, (1) high-speed camera recording and electrophysiological method are used to observe motion patterns of G. gecko’s foot when it climbs on different oriented surfaces; (2) nerve innervations of gecko’s toes to motion and reception are studied. It is found that the five toes of the G. gecko can be divided into two motion and reception divisions, and also its motion and reception are modulated and controlled hierarchically. The results provide important information and exclusive ideas for the foot design and control algorithm of gecko-mimic robots.
