The heavy-handed crims still couldn't get to the safe within, mind.
A team of researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology has built a new needle-like robot that can descend through ice-fields to explore the sea floor beneath —and this is the first footage it’s returned.
Provided you have a few thousand pounds to spare, and promise the kit will never leave the USA.
After millions of years of evolution, your feet are still not perfectly energy efficient. Enter exoskeletons.
CASE and TARS are complicated beasts.
