Abstract
Robotic systems have vastly improved in recent history, but even simple autonomous systems seem out of reach once one becomes immersed in the sheer computational complexity involved in performing tasks as simple as navigating a hallway. This project is an attempt to advance the reach of a robotic system to the level of a simple cockroach. Although this may not seem complicated on the surface, cockroaches can perform some amazing feats. For example, they can run across uneven terrain, navigate, obstacles, support their entire body weight on one leg, find sustenance autonomously, and repair themselves. These are- functions that modern robotic systems try to replicate without significant success.
