The Robotic Cockroach Survives Pressure 900 Times Its Bodyweight To Save Your Life
Sounds crazy, right? But science just made it real!
These creepy little creatures aren’t just pests — they’re *genius survivors*.
Scientists at UC Berkeley discovered that cockroaches can squeeze into cracks as small as a coin and still run fast and survive pressure 900 times their body weight!
Inspired by this, researchers created a small robot called CRAM (Compressible Robot with Articulated Mechanisms). It is the size of your palm and can squeeze through narrow spaces just like a cockroach. It has a smooth, hard top like a roach’s shell and flexible legs that move sideways when flattened.
This robot could be very helpful during disasters like earthquakes and explosions. It can enter collapsed buildings and search for people trapped under rubble—places where bigger robots or humans can’t go. Scientists hope that, one day, many of these robots can be sent into dangerous areas to help rescue teams.
Imagine a swarm of tiny robots crawling through rubble to save lives.
What once made us scream might now become our *hero*.
This is how *nature meets technology* — turning fear into innovation!
