NASA's Spidernaut robot arachnid



Supposedly NASA's Spidernaut, a large robot designed to service spacecraft, current incarnation, is only 1/4 of the final size. The target is a 600 pound robot that can distribute weight evenly over its eight legs to avoid damaging the skin of the spacecraft or for scurrying across solar panels. NASA is even looking into a "web" deployment system for the bot.
