Powerfull biometric robots

Biometric Robots





The iSprawl is the first fully autonomous member of the Sprawl family. It is about 11 centimeters in length and can run at 15 body-lengths/second (over 2.3m/s). (Credit: Center for Design Research at Stanford University)

The upper robot is cricket-inspired robot, approximately three inches long, designed for both walking and jumping. (Credit: CWRU) This kind of robot uses sound to find potential similar robots. This could be useful in search and rescue missions.















The upper robot is a scorpion-based robot developed at Fraunhofer Autonome Intelligente Systeme (AIS) in Germany. These robots are designed to work in harsh environments. They have eight legs.
