A team of researchers from the Stanford University, California, have designed a robot which could climb vertical walls and is destined to climb Martian hills and cliffs in order to find rocks that will help the humanity to learn more about Mars’s geology. The four-limbed robot is called Capuchin, it weighs about 7 kg and is faster and more agile than a previous robot, Lemur, also built by the Stanford University.
Capuchin is so much better than Lemur, it can climb 40 times faster than its predecessor thanks to an technological …
