SCAMP Robot Can Climb Straight Up Walls

Very nice how it uses moments to perch on/detach from walls and I like how it catches itself on a fall. I wonder how strong of wins are needed to detach it from the wall. I'd assume it's more than one would think due to slim profile of all the components.

Nice to see the gecko feet work getting some more interesting hardware. The robotics are interesting and the applications, especially in war zones, are pretty wide open. Since the gecko feet hold without power, a robot like this could recharge via solar power by sitting there, or set up an observation point for forward observers.

Wow! This is the sort of hardware platform that with wider access will enable some phenomenal new developments.
