We know that people always the nature designs are their inspiration - such as the level and robotic worms, but how about's with a snail as a model have taken? That would certainly be most widely by most the minds of people, but snails "Gallop" to such as the Caterpillar, which stick to the foot on a surface, the development of their body behind. The galloping technique is closer, and adapted and improved for robots of the biomechatronics lab at Chuo University in Japan have been studied.
Known as the "snail-wave omnidirectional mobile robot," Toro II, it is definitely not scroll at all, and there is no shell to break up, but the biggest advantage would be that it move in all directions thanks to a great and handy area, which is always in contact with the ground.
In real world use no idea how it will be applied. What do you think? I am sure that the military is a good idea to implement on the battlefield…
