No, this is not a scene from the Wild Wild West.
Here is one of the most brilliant robot spiders built by roboticists ever created. This Spider, named “La Princesse” is 50 feet tall and towered over awe-stricken bystanders in Liverpool in 2008. Specifically built as an art project by art performance enthusiasts, this spider’s purpose is only to impress.
Multi-legged machine creatures are not only limited to art, though. Spider-designed robots are being used by NASA, British Defense Firms and many gadget geeks around the world To climb walls fluently, leap from buildings and actually spy for information.
With this popular and stable, yet agile concept on the rise, the question remains about domesticated, or even militarized spider-designed machines as a future possibility.
