This Spectrum slideshow is about how "creatures from across the animal kingdom offer design principles to make robots more useful, engaging, and lifelike." It includes German mechatronic jellyfish, Stanford's gecko-inspired StickyBot, the EPFL robootic salamander, Northwestern University's RoboLobster, the poop-free robotic chicks by Sega Toys, and Puppy, the 12-DOF pneumatically-actuated beast you see above, a mechanical greyhound developed at Case Western Reserve University.
