Metal Caterpillars

by Eko Prasetyo @ 3:41 AM

Some smarties have put together robots that look and behave like caterpillars

It moves around with scrathing move, and turns using some silicon foot as pivot point. Those are its only movement actuators

Now this is interesting. If people manage to put together something like RoboSapiens and these metal caterpillars, I bet in the end they can manage to put together something like Gundam. I just hope that something will not mean our ends.

But combat-purpose robots have been made and haven't seen real wars yet, but I believe it'll be soon.

And why it's always been USA in forefront of technologies for better man-slaughter?
