How do these ripple bugs (and robots) skate on water?

Walking on water seems impossible, an act that defies physics, but ripple bugs live their entire lives on the surface of creeks and streams. They move

A ripple bug creates visible circular vortices in the water behind it as it moves across the surface, with the wake pattern showing multiple swirling disturbances in the blue water.
