Soiled adhesive pads shear clean by slipping: a robust self-cleaning mechanism in climbing beetles

Animals using adhesive pads to climb smooth surfaces face the problem of keeping their pads clean and functional. Here, a self-cleaning mechanism is proposed whereby soiled feet would slip on the surface due to a lack of adhesion but shed particles in return. Our study offers an in situ quantificati...
