Engineers at Caltech have developed a transforming drone that can switch between wheeled movement, walking, and flight. It launches from the back of a humanoid robot, which can walk across complex terrain to join the drone when it lands. 🤖 www.livescience.com/technology/r... #Robots #Robotics
New 'Transformer' humanoid robot can launch a shapeshifting drone off its back — watch it in action
Developed at Caltech, a new robot is a humanoid that can launch an M4 drone, switching between different modes of motion, with wheels that can become rotors.
