RHEX ROBOT BOSTON DIYNAMICS
RHEX ROBOT BOSTON DIYNAMICS The Rugged Robot that Devours Rough TerrainRHex is a man-portable robot with extraordinary rough terrain mobility. RHex climbs over rock fields, mud, sand, vegetation, railroad tracks, telephone poles and up steep slopes and stairways. RHex has a sealed body, making it fully operational in wet weather, in muddy and swampy conditions, and it can swim on the surface or dive underwater. RHex's remarkable terrain capabilities have been validated in independent testing at US Government Labs.RHex is controlled remotely from an operator control unit at distances up to 600 meters. A video uplink provides front and rear views from RHex's onboard cameras. RHex also uplinks navigational data from onboard compass and GPS and from payload sensors. A downlink allows the operator to control mobility and to operate mission payloads.

For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out
the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for
cruising around town, or running to the store.
The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in
two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun
Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior
fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel
trim and the door inserts match the body.
