Meet Tribot, the Swiss Army knife of robots for rescue missions

Published on Mar 12, 2018


EPFL scientists are developing a three-legged robot for search and rescue missions that can crawl, roll, jump, and – like a Swiss Army knife – fold away into compact form, all on less power than your standard LED light.
