@davepamn The military can further develop it and use it for spying or tactical missions.

The police can use it for certain SWAT operations.

What are the useful application for designing a robot that can walk up the sides of a building? Will it be able to clean my car?

Great

creepiest robot I've ever seen, just look at it creeping, lol.

I agree, it is uselessly slow at that stage of developement. Probably because it requires setting the spines in place or something. Some amount of time for the fibers to grip properly. That guidewire is probably a control wire. You'll note it is never actually taught, there is no weight on it.

I´m impressed but please improve it a bit more so it can walk on the ceiling. I´ll take two of them to paint my ceilings or to change light bulbs.

5/5 for the engineering

[Masterkiller9000]
