Built a six-legged robot

As in the film, this robot not only crawl, but also can pick or kick the obstacles to do the rescue.

Scientists hope that this six-legged robot will react more quickly to the environment and move with intuition no less than the real animal.

The Daily Mail said scientists at Carnegie Mellon have researched the robot's mechanics in 2014 and will integrate it into other modules for the upcoming complete system.

Professor Howie Choset, head of the program, told the Daily Mail that the structure of the wheel, the chassis and other equipment was flexible. Not only does the robot adjust its body when working, but it is easily dispatched by the operator to restructure it to suit the environment.

Six-legged, yet flexible, robot-like robot developed under the auspices of the US Department of Defense DARPA, and will be taking part in the Robotics Challenge in June this year.

Speaking of six legs, it really has a flexible leg, which works like a snake's crawl and knows how to maneuver together so it is very suitable for urban rescue, archaeological exploration. , inspection of power plants, sewage systems and petrochemical refinery.

The six-legged monster connected to the host is an 8-kg steel box, each 30cm long, capable of self-propelled or remote control over a computer network.
