A structure like those found on water striders’ legs keeps a robot out of the water.
Videos of the bugs in question would have been a good addition to the article…

That’s of the robot. I want one of the bugs. It’s hard to understand what they’re replicating.

Robotization doesn’t ring nice. Robot comes from the slavic word for “Work”, so workization of a species for water striding? Doesn’t seem too good for me. Maybe something similar to artifice or artificial would be better.
