## Summary

Researchers have developed a bionic robot called BeetleBot that mimics a beetle's body and limb structure and gait control, allowing it to move stably across complex terrain such as rubble, sand, and narrow crevices. Experiments show it can climb over complex obstacles and quickly recover its movement state after external impacts or being flipped over. The robot is expected to be used in post-disaster search and rescue, exploration of hazardous areas, inspection of industrial facilities, and environmental monitoring.
