A device for moving across a surface, comprising at least one section. Each section comprises a core and a drive sleeve, with the drive sleeve at least partially overlapping the core and reversibly movable relative to the core. In each section, the drive sleeve has at least one row of whiskers and the core has at least one row of whiskers, the whiskers pointing outward from the section, the whiskers capable of supporting at least the weight of the section. For each section, the reciprocal motion of the core and drive sleeve is driven by a motor.
