COCKROACHES - ENGINEER'S BEST FRIEND?: The six-legged household nemesis has

become a design inspiration for biologists and mechanical engineers who are

studying the cockroach's anatomy with hopes of building running robots with

the same speed, stability and versatility. The sprawl robots program at

Stanford's Center for Design Research is creating hand-sized, insect-like

robots that may aid in environmental sensing, space exploration and

military uses, among other tasks.
