Robot Climbs Walls (So You Don’t Have To!)

Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Institute eggheads have created a robot that climbs up walls, then across the ceiling — fast! The robot uses sticky-feet fibers “twice as adhesive as those used by real geckos.” The robot is compact and maneuverable, according to engineers, and by far the NIMBLEST CLIMBING ROBOT YET CREATED. It even has a tail (useful for leveraging the robot into strong contact with the surface it’s climbing). Here comes the VIDEO! Wow! Look at it go!
