REMEMBER THAT ROBOT DOG? IT’S BACK WITH A ‘WHEELY’ COOL UPGRADE
The Honey Badger 4.0 measures about 23.6 inches in length and stands between 9.8 and 19.6 inches high, weighing in at approximately 26.5 pounds. This compact yet capable machine boasts a payload capacity of around 4.4 pounds. It is equipped with RGB and thermal cameras, lidar and gas sensors, allowing it to navigate various environments effectively. The robot can operate for up to two hours on its built-in lithium-ion battery and can be controlled remotely via 5G or a fiber-optic cable.

What truly sets the Honey Badger apart is its amphibious capability. Recent footage shows the robot confidently walking along the bottom of a swimming pool. While legs may not be the most efficient means of underwater propulsion, this versatility opens up new possibilities for the robot’s applications.
HOW TO REMOVE YOUR PRIVATE DATA FROM THE INTERNET
The Honey Badger’s amphibious nature makes it ideal for a variety of tasks. It could be invaluable in search and rescue operations in disaster areas, as well as for inspection and maintenance in flooded environments. The robot is also well-suited for industrial inspections across diverse settings and can contribute to research and development in robotics and locomotion.
