Although latest robots can play table tennis, robots can also be used for surveillance, and if you’re interested about surveillance robot, we might have the right thing for you today.
GroundBot is one of a kind robot, and it comes from Swedish firm Rotundus. What makes GroundBot so special is its looks, and unlike other humanoid robots that we have seen before, this one looks like a sphere. To be precise, GroundBot is a remote-controlled, all-weather 2-foot sphere that can go through snow, mud, and sand. While user is remotely controlling GroundBot, it receives live feed in 3D thanks to the pair of cameras. We also have to mention that this robot also comes with knobby treads that allow it to move on all sorts of terrain.
Swedish Defense Force is currently testing this robot, and we can only wonder what purpose GroundBot will have in the future. Only downside of this robot is its speed that is limited to 6mph, but we hope that folks behind GroundBot will find a way to speed this robot up.
