Cheetah, Gecko and Roaches – Inspire Robot Designer
These are wild animals! Ironically, robot engineers hatched their imaginations on these creations. Robotic designer Sangbae Kim, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, decided to study on some of the mechanisms these animals use and replicate them in robots. Cheetah is the f...
