Four-Legged Walking Robot - Neatorama

(YouTube Link)

The Chiba Institute of Technology, a private university in Japan, makes awesome robots. No, not giant missile-firing mecha robots yet. Those are still in early development. But Serkan Toto of CrunchGear rounded up a few videos of the university's more completed projects, including the above Hyperion 4. This robot is designed to move individuals over uneven terrain.

I think we already have something similar to this. They're called horses.

They may be spider webs but they look more like gypsy moth webs to me. Get enough of them on a tree and the larvae will eat every leaf and kill the tree.

Fascinating, especially the curbing on malaria-carrying mosquitos!

Communities of spiders with a permanent web are common in the SF Bay Area. (No, it's not a joke.)

whoever wrote this article has no idea what theyre talking about. those arent giant spider webs; theyre caterpillars. i tried to follow the source, but it led me to a dead end. we have them in georgia all the time. its a family of caterpillars who build their nests in trees and use the webs for body warmth among other things. i think it helps them preserve heat by like 70% if i recall correctly..
