Halluc II insect-like robot
Posted on Jul 26, 07 11:34 AM PDT
Japanese certainly love their robots, and this love has been proven once again with the Halluc II robot from the Future Robotics Technology Center. Featuring eight limbs, the Halluc II comes in three different modes of locomotion, where one of them is based on the way certain insects walk. Alternatively, it can also move about on wheels like a car as well as sharing the same mannerisms like a quadrupedal mammal. The point of such a robot is to develop machines that can traverse across virtually any terrain in the future. Could this mean more mobile personal transport systems that could park even in the tightest of spaces in the future? Only time will tell.
