NASA is working on new, collapsible robot that doesn't need wheels to get around. The Super Ball Bot rolls around on a series of rods connected by flexible cables, rather than tires. The space agency recently did a demonstration of the machine for IEE spectrum, which you can learn more about in the video below. The biggest benefit of the Super Ball is its size and weight — it has the potential to be smaller and lighter than traditional robots because it isn't made of rigid parts. The ...
