At Nextfest, we saw first hand the awesome power of L’ Ecole Polytechnique Federal De Lausanne’s Biologically inspired Robotics Group.

Behold, The Salamander:

The wheels of the Salamander are in no way active. The wheels are free floating and connected to no motors. The Salamander’s motion is generated entirely through spinal cord action, which we think is incredibly sexy.

This video was taken by Mr. Robotics at Wired Nextfest last wekend, which was a rollicking good time.
