    Quoted: TED Talks <p>UC Berkeley biologist <a href="/speakers/view/id/174" target="_blank">Robert Full</a> shares his fascination with spiny cockroach legs that allow them to scuttle at full speed across loose mesh and gecko feet that have billions of nano-bristles to run straight up walls. His talk, complete with wonderful slow-mo video of cockroach, crab and gecko gaits, explains his goal of creating the perfect robotic &quot;distributed foot.&quot;</p>
