It works because of the "inherent compliance of the legs as well as hairlike microstructures on the legs that work kind of like a directional adhesive". It would be hard to manufacture a tiny pressurized system with valves and those hairlike microstructures. Spiders are self-assembling and made out of cheap materials. Anything with piloted corpses does seem a little fucked up. I'm creeped out imagining accidents storing live spiders or weird research advancements on engineered spiders.
