From the article:
"Over the past decade or so, countless research teams at universities and companies worldwide have been trying to develop robots that recreate the behaviour or structure of specific animal species.
One of the latest attempts was made by two researchers at the University of Zaragoza, Manuel Bernal Lecina and Javier Civera, who recently developed a quadruped robot called LoCoQuad inspired by arachnoids. This robot, presented in a paper pre-published on arXiv, could have a number of applications in robotics research and education."
