A robot designed to work like a roach

You can’t squash this roach-inspired?robot

When you see a cockroach, don't try to squash it.. it could be a robot. :) Small-scale robots like these could be advantageous in search and rescue missions, squeezing and squishing into places where dogs or humans can’t fit, or where it may be too dangerous for them to go.. good work by Yichuan Wu at UC Berkeley through the Tsinghua-Berkeley Shenzhen Institute partnership. #robotics

A new insect-sized robot, which looks like a cockroach, created by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, can scurry across the floor at nearly the speed of a darting cockroach. Small, durable robots like these could be advantageous in search and rescue missions, squeezing and squishing into places where dogs or humans can't fit, or where it may be too dangerous for them to go.
