BioRxiv paper's on this work is here[0]. This is some pretty interesting work. It'd be interesting to figure out how they adapt walking to traverse 3d terrain, because robots are really bad at this. Tardigrades have about 200 neurons and probably don't have much of concept of proprioception so figuring out how they work would be useful for robots. They might 'cheat' at walking by being able to adhere to the surface though.
