'Robot Tarzan' helps forest work (BBC News)
[Posted December 29, 2003 by ris]
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." (Thanks to Paul Sladen)
