Insect-sized robot with cheetah's agility created: Researchers

The University of California, Berkeley, engineers claim to have created an insect-sized robot that can swerve and pivot with the agility of a cheetah. They used the principle behind some of the specialised sticky footpads that insects and spiders have. The robot was filmed navigating Lego mazes while carrying a small gas sensor and swerving to avoid falling debris.
