More news of the coming Robot Monkey Apocalypse from Danger Room:
To the growing menagerie of robotic pack mules, snakes, lobsters, and insects, you can now add another creature: this mechanical, headless monkey.The accompanying video make it clear that the Robot Monkey Apocalypse draws nigh.
The Stanford-built robot, Capuchin, "carefully balances its weight across its arms and legs using force sensors in the tips of its limbs," New Scientist notes. That allows it to scale walls "around 40 times faster than an earlier climbing robot built by the team." NASA is hoping to send the thing to Mars one day.
