High-speed cameras capture the body and leg motions used by these roaches, a Central American species with bodies about 2 cm long. These videos can later be slowed down to help the researchers learn the precise travel tactics that small robots could use to surmount the same type of obstacles. The roaches, native to a rain forest region highly cluttered with vegetation, need these skills. "The research was funded by a Burroughs Well come Fund Career Award at the Scientific Interface, a United States of America Army Research Office Young Investigator Award, and The Johns Hopkins University Whiting School of Engineering."
