JumpRoACH
Bugs are astounding little creatures and they provide a great template for dynamic movement in robots.
Other, similar cockroach-inspired robots have been created at UC Berkeley, and while you probably wouldn’t want your ordinary cockroach to jump 10 feet in the air, this little robot may be used for search and rescue missions one day.
JumpRoACH, created out of a collaboration between UC Berkeley and Seoul National University, can not only jump with great precision, it can also adjust the height of its leap each time its spring is released.

Still waiting for a scientific explanation on how the little bastards make it up to my 20th floor apartment (the organic ones, not the robots)
