Book Description: Take one intrepid bug scientist; add a determination to understand arthropod locomotion; mix with engineers anxious to build a better robot; and humanity gets Spider-bots, Mini-Whegs and iSprawls. This is the story of The Poly-PEDAL Laboratory where ingenious experiments with the likes of cockroaches and centipedes inspired other laboratories to design mini-robots that mimic and eerily resemble the real thing.
