RoACH: A Robotic Autonomous Crawling Hexapod

Source, more info, and a tutorial to do it: http://robotics.eecs.berkeley.edu/~ronf/Ambulation/Roach.html

Fabricated from long fiber-reinforced composites, his robot makes use of Smart Composite Microstructures and integrated shape memory alloy (SMA) wire actuators. In addition to having novel kinematics that are enabled by the SCM process, all power, control, and communication electronics are carried onboard and the entire robot is powered with a 20maHr Lithium-polymer battery from the Full River corporation. It's capable of walking at about 1 body length per second for 9.5 minutes.
