The Velociraptor- Like Robot That Could Save Your Life


  • Biologist, Robert Full, and his colleges are building robots that look like different animals.
  • They made a robot of a lizard and sent it threw an earthquake zone to witness the aftershock of the disaster.
  • These robots are for search-and- rescue.
  • They were designed after African aqama lizard who can jump and stick the landing and stay balanced. They want the robots to have these abilities.
  • They built a large robot that was able to land even lighter on the ground then the lizard.
  • They realized that Velociraptor's are even swifter with their tails and decided that they would design a Velociraptor.
  • They believe once they create it, it will be able to save the lives of many.
