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 …

Here is a robot concept designed to climb walls and to diagnose the integrity of a building’s structure. The robot is called C-Bot and it climbs walls in a clever way using its footpads which are covered in nano-hair. Another feature that helps it when climbing is a sensor which emits ultrasonic rays.
The C-Bot is big enough to carry around a human, althouh it doesn’t need an extra-package on-board. This robot could be very useful because the architects are designing taller and taller buildings which might encounter some very dangerous …

A cool mini-robot designed and built by James Watt, but the best thing about this robotic insect is the fact that it flaps his wings with power coming from the sun. The dragonfly includes several solar cells and some electronic circuits. Interesting looking concept but this is not the only one from James. Can’t wait to see what are his future projects!
