A robot snake, capable of recording video and sound on the battlefield, is on the way to join the the IDF's hi-tech arsenal.
According to a Channel 2 report, the spying robot, which is about two meters long and covered in military camouflage, mimics the movements and appearance of real snakes, slithering around through caves, tunnels, cracks and buildings, while at the same time sending images and sound back to a soldier who controls the device through a laptop computer.

This DARPA (Defense Department Advanced Researce Project Agency) robot is also rather amazing...it can walk on just about any surface.
Shabbat Shalom...

ReplyDeleteThis is just the greatest thing I've seen in a long time; by far surely beats the shavuos cheesecake!!
I love it (but it reminds me of a mosquito sometimes)
(Oh, that's too much, the word verification has 'dog' and almost 'puppy' in it)
Cool, but how about a pair of fangs?
ReplyDeleteThanks for blogging about this - my friend just started out at Jpost and it's his article!
ReplyDeleteShavua tov :)
not this article? ;-)
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who felt bad that it got kicked, fell over in the ice, and missed a step on the cinderblocks? Especially when nothing about it seemed remotely dog-like to me, but rather creepily like a giant fly? I have to work on my "inanimate object" reactions.
ReplyDeleteAlissa; I did. (I was rooting for the robot the whole time...)
