“Meet the Robots Ready to Revolutionize Our World – Are We Prepared for Their Rise?”
It’s crewed by one person and can be armed with a 6,000 round per minute twin cannon and a LOHAS launcher. It’s not capable of walking, but it does have four wheels which allows it to go around at 10 km/h.
Bionic WheelBot
A German professor discovered the “flic-flac” spider, also known as the cebrennus rechenbergi, while traveling to the Sahara and was fascinated by it. He loved the fact that it could turn itself into a ball and roll around, and used this ability to double its normal speed, which helped it avoid predators or catch up to its prey.
So, they created the Bionic WheelBot which can also tuck-and-roll for speed or crawl to navigate through tough terrain.
RHex
RHex is yet another fascinating Boston Dynamics creation. Mud, rocks and even the densest forest stand no chance at stopping this all-terrain machine that looks more like heavy duty binoculars.
It has a waterproof body which allows it to actually swim in liquid, making it a bonafide military scout. It’s a surveillance machine that can get up to speeds exceeding five-body lengths per second and climb slopes up to 45 degrees.
The Talon IV
Any robot that can ensure less of our military men and women get put into dangerous situations, the better. The Talon is a lightweight bot with an arm that can drag up to 700 pounds of dead weight, identify IEDs, and even get involved in combat.
