Researchers Reveal What Robots Could Learn From Roaches

It seems like robots could learn from roaches. Researchers from the University of Cologne in Germany have discovered a change in roaches' gait that could help teach robots to walk. Animal's gait was previously only analyzed in fast mammals. Researchers have now found that arthropods that run quickly, like roaches, change their gait at mid-speed. Experts said the change in gait in roaches (Nauphoeta cinerea) is similar to the way horses switch from trop to gallop.
