| | Synopsis
|
Visit Dennis Hong's lab and you'll see robots climbing walls,
negotiating bumpy uneven terrain, even typing a letter. One has a
human-like hand, another slithers like a snake, another has
human-like legs that it used to stand up and walk, and others have
spidery legs -this lab would make the bar scene in the film Star Wars
seem tame! With support from the National Science Foundation, the
RoMeLa Lab at Virginia Tech is developing robots to perform a wide
variety of tasks and to eventually be able to move and think on their
own. Producer: Ann Kellan
