Researchers develop robot inspired by movements of cockroaches, lizards
Researchers at Israel's Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) have developed an amphibious robot, inspired by the movements of cockroaches and basilisk lizard, that can swim and run on water at high speeds. The AmphiSTAR robot can attain speeds of 3.6 metre per second over grass, gravel and concrete and 1.5 metre per second while swimming or running on water.
