Talk about freaky robots! This is the amazingly mobile A-Pod robot, created by technics at Zenta. It is a variety of the hexapod, which looks and moves a lot like a real ant. It can move its head extremely well and all its body parts are very flexible.
The video demonstrates the A-pod movements and sees it picking up various objects. Quite scary almost.
I just watched Terminator 2 last night, and looking at this, there is no telling when the machines will take over and whip our asses.
This is the technical details:
Why This Trend Is Growing
- Insect Robots
