An engineering team wanted to build a robot with a special function to run through buildings that had fallen because of strong winds or earthquakes. The robot could check whether it is safe for people to go into the buildings. The robot needs to move quickly over obstacles, that's its criteria. The team is designing the robot with cockroach traits.
