'Robot Tarzan' helps forest work (BBC News)

The BBC News looks at a Linux-powered 'Treebot'. "The Treebot, which in scientific terms is a node in a Networked Infomechanical System (Nims), helps [to study interaction between the environment and atmospheric conditions] by being stealthy enough to travel through the forest canopy along specially-constructed cabling, night and day."
