The invention discloses a bionic water strider robot capable of gliding on the water surface, and belongs to the field of bionic robots. The bionic water strider robot comprises a rack and gliding legs; at least three pairs of gliding legs are symmetrically installed on both sides of the rack; the gliding legs are made of copper wires with the diameter being 0.2 mm-0.3 mm; one ends of the gliding legs are folded up and connected to the bottom face of the rack, and the other ends of the gliding legs are tilted upwards by the angles of 120 degrees to 140 degrees; the surfaces of the gliding legs are coated with super-hydrophobic materials; propellers and motors which drive the propellers to rotate are mounted on at least one of the front end and the rear end of the rack; and the motors are mounted on the rack in a bound mode, and the propellers are in close fit connection with motor shafts. The copper wires are adopted to make the gliding legs so that machining difficulty can be reduced, and stability of supporting and the transformation degree can be improved; at the same time, the other ends of the gliding legs are tilted upwards, so that the gliding legs glide more smoothly, resistance is reduced, the greater speed of movement is obtained as far as possible in the process of movement, and the robot can utilize tension of the water surface and float stably on the water surface just like a water strider; and the bionic water strider robot is simple in structure, small in size and low in manufacturing cost.
