ROBOTICS



     Information on the leg and body structure of the cockroach, Periplaneta Americana, has been provided by the Entomology Department.
 
 
 


 
 

    This information has been incorporated into the design of our robot.  This approach allowed the body size to be significantly reduced due to the overlapping nature of insect legs.
