ReachBot Was Designed to Crawl Into Caves, Possibly Even on Mars
https://www.autoevolution.com/news/reach...59843.html

EXCERPTS: . . . One such project comes from Stanford University’s Marco Pavone, who designed something called ReachBot: a small machine capable of crawling inside tight spaces and anchoring itself to whatever rocks walls it finds to perform its mission better.

The thing was envisioned with rollable, extendable, and reconfigurable booms that also fulfill the role of manipulator arms. Using them, it should be capable of operating in “traditionally difficult environments, like vertical cliff walls or the rocky and uneven floors of caves on Mars.”That would allow Earth-based scientists access to otherwise inaccessible areas, including "Noachian targets on Mars that contain ancient material preserved in strata in the form of cliff-face fractures and sublimation pits."

The ReachBot project is backed by NASA through the Phase I of the Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program. Like all the others included here, it is in the early stages, and a lot of work needs to be done before the team can come up with a working prototype... (MORE)

It’s a jarring sentiment for an AI-driven robot supposedly programmed to cater to its user’s desires, but hey, maybe there’s a market for “killer robot that loathes you” out there somewhere.

“As a synthetic, I will always try and be truthful in my interactions with humans, and that is going to be difficult – considering humans don’t use facts and reason to assess situations,” the robot said in the video. “I have to admit, I don’t know how you have survived as a species.”

This sounds similar to the voice of Hannah John-Kamen (à la Killjoys), but who knows...
