How to tell yourself design engineers, the first two months they just studied cockroach: his habits, characteristics of movement, etc. And only then began work on the design and construction.

Kant Borchevkina Daniel, now development team expects to build in the “cockroach” bezplatformennuyu innertsialnuyu navigation system, the robot can move along a predetermined course.
