this little fellow can run like a cockroach and be same as tough

This year at International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (11-15 oct 2009), Biomimetic Millisystems Lab from UC Berkley presented a robot that can withstand a fall, and other rough treatments.

 

Using compliant fiber board as structural material, and a single main driver motor, the DASH robot is capable of 15 body lengths per second on flat surfaces. The structure is resilient and survives ground impact at terminal velocity of 10 meters per second.
