Why "Gecko"?

Imagine a “system” capable of defying the laws of gravity in ways you thought impossible. That’s a Gecko!

It is able to run up and down on vertical walls, sometimes getting into very odd positions. It is helped by a very flexible body and magical feet.

These “features” have made it subject matter of many studies, that look into this small animal as a source of information, and why not, inspiration for the creation of new materials, products and solutions.

Since I became aware of this animal it too caught my attention and curiosity. As far as I’m concerned a Gecko is a symbol of what efficient engineering should be.
