DRONE-LIKE ROBOT

won’ t belie its impressive strength and functionality. The spider robot is touted as being an all-terrain robot for use in the real world. It can be easily controlled wirelessly by using a smartphone and it can be programmed‘ so that developers can make it do whatever they want.’ |
Some practical applications of this robot would be to provide live camera footage in harsh areas that humans can’ t survive in. It’ s been indicated for potential use searching for life on Mars- and, oddly enough, it looks fairly similar to the‘ nanobots’ in development for long-distance gaming on the moon. The nanobots walk around on legs and will be controlled from the Earth’ s surface by users with smartphones, providing a unique augmented-reality game that takes place on the moon’ s surface. |
