The robot moves like a crockroach

[LocustaVampa]

wow. Put a million of these things on Mars to explore plx

how does it turn/change direction?

[yakkit]

Does this have any advantage over wheels? It doesn't seem to be more efficient, and I'm not sure if it'd be any better over rough surfaces... maybe I'm wrong.

[TheNeonHippie]

It's fast. They could stick little arms on it, and a bomb squad could use it to disarm bombs from blocks away.

[Masterkiller9000]

Lol tikikikikikikikikikikikikikiki­kikikiki...

[sweded66]

like a good spy cam for...some..one...that needs it?

[GlemVivas]

inseto.... =o

[jherazob]

This thing walks like a cockroach, and is small, probably to be further miniaturized soon enough.

So, any bets on how long till we have swarms of roboroaches?

[blackandwhiteupanddo]

cool but pointless

[eighty1net]

Right. The study and application of natural motion to robotics is pointless. A better understanding of more efficient mobility algorithms is pointless. More efficient designs for robots combined with more insight of how insect physiology can answer many questions about how to better-design those robots is pointless. Because robotics, technology and a deeper understanding of the fundamental link between technology, nature and humanity is just soooo pointless.

[blackandwhiteupanddo]

you're an idiot. apparently a robot bug is going to save humanity. I'm just saying they should serve a purpose, like Big Dog for example. You can go back to your cp now.

[eighty1net]

Point out to me the part where I said it'd "save humanity." You have no concept of progression, apparently. Small steps, that kind of thing. You have to make small steps before you can progress to things that make a big difference: they're called research, theory, experimentation and testing.

"You can go back to your cp now." Ah, a /b/tard. That makes a lot of sense now. Really clears up the kind of person you are.

[blackandwhiteupanddo]

YOU'RE RIGHT. YOU WIN AT LIFE. I AM ALWAYS ON B AND DONT EVEN SLEEP.

It's not a more efficient algorithm you idiot, it was just something they did for the f*** of it. I'm not even wasting my time responding to you anymore.

[Vire70]

Noob.

[JViz]

This reminds me of that movie "Runaway".

[purbanegoro]

Is it a sex toy?

[jokotea]

Can you eat it?

[JamboyStu]

What's it for?

[insanity54]

Is it safe?

[mazack00]

Wow! Very innovative. Surprisingly quick and quiet!

[ZincFuse]

Thing can move like a cockroach.

[BeanangelTreon]

be peaceful little robot

kind of the way kiki says "stay good" at the comic sluggy (.) com

[chaosnaska]

to combine ricefarmer and sonikdude49's comments:

"thats one fast bomb to kill muslims with!"

[ricefarmer]

strap a bomb on it and kill muslims

[sonikdude49]

thats one fast bot
