Spider robot
Spider robot. Prototype (G2) modular robot (PolyBot) walking in a field. PolyBots are made from a number of self-contained modules, each having its own on-board computer, infrared sensor, power supply, motor and connectors. Each modules computer allows it to function and move independently. When modules are connected together and a central control circuit added, the modules can move as a whole. In this case they move using their four " legs", in a similar way to a spider. Commercial uses could include search and rescue. PolyBots are being developed at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), USA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Spider robot, a prototype (G2) modular robot known as PolyBot, gracefully walking in a vast field. Developed at the prestigious Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) in the United States, these innovative PolyBots are constructed using self-contained modules that possess their own on-board computer, infrared sensor, power supply, motor, and connectors. The beauty of this design lies in its ability to function independently when each module's computer is activated. However, when connected together with a central control circuit added, these modules can seamlessly move as one cohesive unit. In this particular instance captured by Science Photo Library, we witness the PolyBots utilizing their four "legs" to mimic the movements of a spider. This crawling motion allows them to navigate challenging terrains effortlessly and opens up endless possibilities for various applications such as search and rescue missions. The intricate network of wires and connections between these modular units ensures seamless communication and coordination among them. Equipped with infra-red sensors, these robotic marvels possess an advanced perception system that aids in detecting obstacles or potential dangers during their expeditions. As we delve into this mesmerizing image print from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of how technology continues to push boundaries while drawing inspiration from nature itself.
