报告摘要：

We discuss a few situations where some asymmetry in the landscape of a drop pushes it to propel. This asymmetry can be provided by wettability, texture or temperature contrasts. In most cases, the interesting question (in our opinion) is to understand the origin of the force, and its magnitude. We conclude by showing examples where even the source of asymmetry is not clear, such as observed when a drop is placed in a wind and found to propel perpendicular to it.
