View story Rolling Robot Inspired by Caterpillar 1 / 0 http://news.discovery.com/animals/rolling-robot-caterpillar-... Submitted by sarahmartin 13 months, 6 days, 7 hours ago A robot that mimics one of the caterpillar's trickiest moves, escaping predators by curling into a wheel and rolling away, has been built by researchers from Tufts University. They hope this new form of locomotion will allow crawling bots to explore tricky danger zones, aid in search-and-rescue operations or even explore for hidden treasure.
