Think of search-and-rescue robots and what comes to mind are the little machines that muscle over rough terrain with brute force, said Science News, and they may run into difficulties in trying to access all the nooks and crannies in wreckage. The difficulty, said researchers at the University of Pennsylvania Modular Robotics Laboratory (ModLab), is in part due to small spaces and complex obstacles.
