Climbing 'Spider' Bot to inspect Structural Safety (GALLERY)

If you peer out of your window and see a spider like robot crawling up the wall, it might just not be War of the worlds. The C-Bot a robot designed by Niklas Galler diagnoses the building fabric for structural defects. The sensor on the belly of the bot emits ultra-sonic rays and gets the required information through specific ray reflection. Inner damages of buildings, like rust inside of reinforced concrete, or mildew infested walls, can be detected.
Based on biomimetics (inventing by observing nature), it uses a gecko’s foot design to climb walls without artificial adhesion.
