A hatlábú robot gyorsabban jár a saját algoritmussal, mint a rovarok által alkalmazott algoritmussal.

It seems roboticists are more concerned with building bots that mimic what we see in the natural world. But sometimes, the solution found in nature is not the optimal one. In a paper published this week in the journal Nature Communications, a group of roboticists from École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne and Université de Lausanne have bucked this biomimicry trend. The Swiss scientists have designed a six-legged robot that walks differently from insects. What’s more, it moves faster than it would if its gait mimicked that of real insects.

In June, the journal Bioinspiration & Biomimetics published an open-access special edition focused on drone research. Fourteen research teams showcased their latest experimental efforts and the nature inspiration behind the technology.
