RiSE Wall Climbing Robot
Friday, August 10th, 2007
RiSE by Boston Dynamics is a wall climbing robot with 6 legs. Each leg is powered by two motors. The robot is .25 m long, weighs 2 kg and travels .3 m per second.
In the video it seems to move fairly slowly. I bet it would lose in a race against VMRP, the robot that uses vortex or “tornado in a cup†technology. But this robot has a bendable body and therefore can transition from climbing a wall to walking on a rooftop.
This robot is funded by DARPA. Click the link for the video .
