TaylorSwift 162,471 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Chinese scientists said they have developed a robot rat that they hope can be used in post-disaster rescue missions. They said the rat can squeeze through narrow spaces, climb slopes, get over obstacles and walk on snow, adding that it could be used to carry medical supplies or emergency rations to places rescuers cannot reach, for example to people trapped under rubble after an earthquake. The robot is designed to mimic the motion of actual rats - it can stand from a crouching position or stay low to the ground and crawl in a space with a low ceiling height, according to the study. It could also turn with a small radius in curved narrow passages and recover from falls by controlling its limbs and cervical spine to adjust its centre of mass, allowing it to work on rugged terrains. The robot, measuring 19cm (7.5 inches) in length and weighing 220g (7.8oz), is powered by solar rechargeable batteries that can last 30 minutes and be controlled remotely via wifi using a computer or phone, Shi said. It walks at an average speed of 15cm per second and has a 200g payload for sensor installation or transporting light goods. source https://store.taylorswift.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
