Cockroaches Walk at High Speeds

Function

Cockroaches walk by moving their 6 legs in a methodical way. When they walk, three of their legs are always touching the ground to support their body, allowing them to move with stability. They use their leg joints and can adjust the height of their legs while walking, so they can move quickly even on uneven ground.

Proposals of Applied Technology

Cockroach walking mechanics can be used in the development of lifesaving robots to go into disaster areas that are difficult for humans to enter. This feature can also be used in the development of sensor robots that are equipped with various sensors to detect gas, oil, radiation leaks, or explosives.
