Boston Dynamics RHex Can Go Anywhere, Anytime
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Friday, 9 of November , 2007 at 5:24 am
Boston Dynamics is quite innovative when it comes to robot locomotion, and RHex is no exception. His appendages are able to provide wheel-like mobility with leg-like traction when necessary. If you’ll be operating in a primarily aquatic environment, you can switch out the legs for paddles, and RHex is equally at home. A completely sealed body means that RHex can operate just fine in virtually any situation, and he’s wirelessly controllable from over half a kilometer away with both front and rear cameras. Want one to play with? Apparently, they’re available, but I don’t really want to know how much an RHex would be… My guess is something on the order of six arms and legs.

The Justin Bieber juggernaut is almost certainly showing no evidence of slowing down. Despite the fact that his very first album, My World 2.0 was introduced just last year, the fresh music star is in fact currently looking to his future album.
