If the cockroach moves left, the robot moves left. Infrared sensors also provide navigation feedback to the cockroach, striving to create a pseudo-intelligent system with the cockroach as the CPU Project website : www.conceptlab.com

    Pretty cool! Now all they need to do is make the lights working with the sensors start lighting very dimly as it approaches an object from a distance. Then when the robot gets really close to an object, have the lights get brighter and brighter. Poor roachie lol.
