I know I just wrote a post about the future of advertising being “on the wall,” but it is increasingly clear to me that there is going to be something else on our walls in the not-so-distant future—robots. Check out this new video from New Scientist:
The robot is slow and inflexible but it will improve. You might recall that just a few years ago Boston Dynamic’s Big Dog robot couldn’t even climb a six-inch curb. But as we saw in this impressive video BigDog has made some dramatic strides in the last two years and I predict that wall-climbing robots will see a similar amount of progress in the near future.
