 Are the people still interested in Arnold’s famous Terminator serie?!
It’s unclear why DARPA would name a robot that’s supposed to rescue people from disaster “TerminatorBot” other than the fact that robots need badass names as a matter of course.
The TerminatorBot is a search-and-rescue robot funded separately from the DARPA Distributed Robotics contract. It is distinct from the Scouts in its ability to manipulate objects and crawl over very difficult terrain. Inspired by the final scene of the original Terminator movie, this millibot is able to manipulate objects with its arms and locomote by dragging itself with the same arms. Below are pictures of the first two 75mm-diameter prototypes of the TerminatorBot.
