Hey robot, shimmy like a centipede (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/07/160722092944.htm)
Devices mimic creature's surprising unstable advantage
Researchers have used computer simulations and robotics to uncover a surprising insight into the mechanics of locomotion, namely that taming instability -- a factor that might be a disadvantage -- is a key to the centipede's success.
