ROBOTICSSquishy Robot Walks Through Acid, Fire and IceA few years back, we wrote about this squishy little air-powered legged robot from Harvard with no electronics or moving parts that you could beat down with a hammer and it would still keep walking. The 2011 version of the robot was tethered to external air compressors, but the newest one brings all of its power and control onboard, and you can no longer kill it with fire. Uh oh.The basic design of this robot, developed at Professor George M. Whitesides' lab at Harvard and described in a paper in the journal Soft Robotics, is mostly similar to the one from a few years ago, although being untethered is a very big deal, since it's a requirement for a robot to be able to do something useful outside of a lab.Ghostlike Robot Goes For All-Terrain ActionPLAY VIDEORobot Jellyfish Patrolling The OceansThe Navy has commissioned a GIANT ROBOT JELLYFISH! It's real. It works. But that's not all. Anthony shows us this amazing machine in action and explains how it may soon help patrol our oceans.DNEWS VIDEOThe silicone rubber that the robot has been made out of is extraordinarily tough, such that it can continue to function in subzero temperatures (tested down to -9 degrees Celsius), 40 km/h winds, puddles of up to 5 centimeters of water, and 3,000 Kelvin methane flames for up to 50 seconds. It's also resistant to acid, for whatever that's worth.This version is completely autonomous, in that it'll run quite happily by itself for about 2 hours before it runs out of battery power. It doesn't include active sensing or much of a brain, but you could turn it into a surveillance platform by sticking a GoPro on it with a bunch of electrical tape.The robot can adopt one of several different gaits to move in a straight line or turn, and flat out, it'll zip along at up to 18 meters per hour (0.5 centimeters per second). Pressurized internally to 20 psi, the robot is quite strong, and has no trouble lifting payloads of up to 3.4 kilograms, or doing a static hold of 8 kg.READ MORE PLUS SEE PHOTO AND VIDEO @ http://news.discovery.com/tech/robotics/squishy-robot-walks-through-fire-and-ice-140808.htm

    The important point is Robots could be life savers for they can go where no men can go ...they would make good firefighters...good at clearing ice / bad road conditions...climbing mountains so as to rescue people stuck... Could have robots who can swim in water remote controlled to save lives of those that are drowning ...save people on sinking ships ...save those stranderd in desserts...Plus Lot More Functions They Could Preform

"And now I will roll back this thread to some salient Q&As, just before we were so unnecessarily distracted, by decoy tactics...:
