What stands out about this design is that <strong>it does not need electricity to stay in any position<\/strong> and its legs are powerful enough to <strong>support up to 2.5 times its own weight<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Magnecko is moderately autonomous<\/h3>\n\n<p>Magnecko is not completely autonomous, as it requires an operator to tell it where to go via a wireless hand control.<\/p>\n\n<p>Once provided with the path, it can move independently, making it easy to transition between walking on vertical and horizontal surfaces of a ferromagnetic nature.<\/p>\n\n<p>In the future, the possibility of endowing it with the ability to avoid obstacles autonomously and to plan its own routes is being considered.<\/p>\n\n<p>In addition, its creators do not rule out the idea that it is not only used for the inspection of structures at heights, but also for surveillance tasks.<\/p>\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/computerhoy.com\/tecnologia\/crean-robot-capaz-escalar-cualquier-pared-subir-techos-aterrador-1282702\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/computerhoy.com\/tecnologia\/crean-robot-capaz-escalar-cualquier-pared-subir-techos-terrador-1282702<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inspenet, August 2, 2023.<br \/>\nThis innovative quadruped robot, created by a team of eight engineering students in Switzerland, has the unique ability to move both horizontally and vertically.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8403,"featured_media":93641,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categoria_noticias":[13030,13058],"etiqueta_noticias":[],"class_list":["post-93763","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria_noticias-industry","categoria_noticias-robotics"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/93763","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/noticias"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8403"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=93763"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/93763\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/93641"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=93763"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria_noticias?post=93763"},{"taxonomy":"etiqueta_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/etiqueta_noticias?post=93763"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
