This robot that looks like a centipede can walk over rough terrain.
We can imagine applications in many different scenarios, including search and rescue.
Robotics faces a difficult task in making them glide smoothly over rough surfaces. Researchers have experimented with many methods to improve robot movement, including those inspired by nature.
Engineers have taken cues from the natural world to create a robot that is similar to a centipede and can switch easily from walking straight forward to walking in curved motion.
