Beast Robots. Amazing Robots Conceived by Nature Itself

Imagine that, besides our world, there exists another world – one inhabited by invulnerable living mechanisms with incredible abilities. Is this science fiction? No, today robotics scientists are truly working on creating robots with superpowers derived from real animals. What... happens if you add mechanical strength to the agility and speed of a snake? You get practically invulnerable Uncle Sam robot, capable of moving on land and water, lifting heavy loads, and participating in rescue operations. The superpowers of beast robots are inspired by nature itself, and their creation is driven by the necessity to solve given tasks and cope with various difficulties. They can accomplish what is impossible for humans: detecting poisonous gases or assisting in the rescue of victims during disasters. This book tells about 12 such amazing robots: incredible hybrids of bacteria and mechanisms, silent Flying Robo-mice, underwater Octobots, and even mechanical cockroaches; all of these are beast robots.
