8. REAL WORLD APPLICATIONS
Natural Disaster Relief Efforts

Experimental Usage
9. “The ultimate goal is to create roots that can respond to
dangerous emergencies.”
If a robot could drive a vehicle, open doors, and explore
where humans could not, and turn valves, the damage
would have been much more controlled.
The future of this robot is for it to do anything that a
human can’t to keep humans safe.
