6-limb disaster rescue robot unveiled by Osaka Univ.

OSAKA, Japan - Researchers at Osaka University unveiled a robot with six limbs on June 6 that can be used in disaster rescue efforts as it walks on unleveled ground and moves by hanging from net-shaped wires. The robot, named Asterisk because of its shape, carries a video camera and can be operated remotely through video images it sends over a wireless connection, the researchers said.
