RiSE, boston dynamics' wall climbing robot

http://www.bostondynamics.com
RiSE is a small six-legged robot that climbs vertical terrain such as walls, trees and fences. RiSEs feet have claws, micro-claws or sticky material, depending on the climbing surface. RiSE changes posture to conform to the curvature of the climbing surface and a fixed tail helps RiSE balance on steep ascents. RiSE is about 0.25 m long, weighs 2 kg, and travels 0.3 m/s.
