Micro robot climbs vertical glass carrying 100 times its weight

A 9 gram "micro tug" robot climbs vertical glass carrying 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) payload enabled by gecko adhesives with 200:1 anisotropic adhesion. The ability to carry 100 body weights is comparable to a human climbing up a glass building while carrying an adult elephant. A 20 milligram climber is also demonstrated.

They should have the one with the battery packs climb the Sears/Willis Tower. It would make a nice publicity stunt. Might take a while, though.

Can they carry human size up vertical, I saw the video where microbots pulled a car, so I know they can easy drag a human, but I wanted to know if it can carry a human or lift a person up vertical. That would be helpful to save people in need of help...
