The is the Compressible Robot with Articulated Mechanisms -- also known as CRAM. It has a trick: it can squeeze into some really tight spaces. Researchers at the University of California at Berkeley ...

ADELPHI, Md. (Feb. 10, 2016) -- Supported by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, University of California-Berkeley researchers have developed a small, crawling robot that mimics a cockroach's ability ...

Researchers have found a way to get rid of cockroaches over a meter away with the help of a robot. The robot was programmed to shoot laser beams to zap cockroaches up to 1.2 meters in the distance.

UC Berkeley researchers were able to use robots to mimic the swift maneuver of cockroaches, building on a study conducted in 2016 about reflecting the behavior of cockroaches in robots. Cockroaches ...

Berkeley, California - US-based researchers have created a robot that can use its body shape to move through a densely cluttered environment. The team from the University of California, Berkeley based ...

A cockroach-inspired robot can handle complicated and bumpy terrain. It could be used for surveying earthquake rubble or even other planets. The robot, called Omni-Roach, has a rounded body, wings ...

Cyborg cockroaches that find earthquake survivors. A "robofly" that sniffs out gas leaks. Flying lightning bugs that pollinate farms in space. These aren't just buzzy ideas, they're becoming reality.

Many a mother has said, with a sigh, "If your friends jumped off a cliff, would you jump too?" The answer, for cockroaches at least, may well be yes. Researchers using robotic roaches were able to ...

Note: you will be killed by the innocent-looking robot pictured above. Using a combination of the stable low profile of a cockroach and the terrain-adapting spine legs of a spider, this ...
