This is yet another example of natural technology where we try to imbibe feats of nature in machines. The Strider is a radio-controlled robot discovering its real talent with the help of researchers at Japan’s Chuo University. It is similar to the Carnegie Mellon University’s amphibious robot we encountered couple of months back that mimics movements of a basilisk lizard. The Strider impeccably uses a set of legs, 6 in total, the outer ones made of a buoyant resin to help it float and the inner legs for propelling.
Researchers aim at making Strider move over both water and land with ease and using it an impeccable aquatic rescues machine.
