Tready robot uses unique threaded fins to overcome obstacles

The Tready robot, manufactured by Pittsburgh-based HEBI Robotics, is designed for reconnaissance and research. Despite

funny looking, this bot is a tough machine,which can navigate the most difficult terrain thanks to treaded fins. They can remain horizontal or move up and down. It all depends on the area they have to explore.

Individual control over four finsmeans that the bot can easily climb or descend stairs, overcome various obstacles and narrow spaces, and walk on the most uneven and uneven terrain. He even swims, maneuvering in the water. 

Tready consists of a central rectangularenclosures with four individually adjustable movable legs. Each of them has a pivoting rubber protector at the end. These fins can remain horizontal as the robot moves on relatively level ground, moving slightly up and down to follow the contours of the terrain.

However, if Tready hits an obstacle, such as a fallen log or a large rock, he raises his front flippers to the top of the object, using them to climb.
