Robotic Application

FuRo robotics, a Japanese technology company, took inspiration from the Hallucigenia's unique anatomy in designing their Hallucigenia-I and Halluc-II concept vehicles. Working prototypes of these vehicles, which have 8 wheels on the end of 8 robotic appendages, can move in any direction and can climb over uneven terrain.

Famous quotes containing the word application:

    Great abilites are not requisite for an Historian; for in historical composition, all the greatest powers of the human mind are quiescent. He has facts ready to his hand; so there is no exercise of invention. Imagination is not required in any degree; only about as much as is used in the lowest kinds of poetry. Some penetration, accuracy, and colouring, will fit a man for the task, if he can give the application which is necessary.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
