Is this a run-on sentence? Because penguins are frightened by humans and difficult to approach, researchers from the University of Strasbourg used remote-controlled rovers outfitted as baby penguins to study their subjects.

No, it is NOT a run-on sentence; instead, it is a perfectly standard complex sentence -- in this case, a dependent clause followed by an independent clause.
