6-limb disaster rescue robot
|
Tatsuo Arai and his team at Osaka University have created a six-limb robot for disaster rescue that walks on unleveled ground and moves by hanging from net-shaped wires.
The robot, called Asterisk, is 52 centimeters long and has six limbs with four junctures each. It carries a video camera and can be operated by remote control through video images it sends through wireless local area networks. The researchers hope to use the robot in situations such as searching for survivors in large-scale disasters and checking the ceilings of tunnels. Via Japan Today. |
