Revolute Robotics has presented its autonomous Hybrid Mobility Robot (HMR), a whirling, spherical cage that can fly like a multicopter, or roll in any direction using two gyroscopic gimbal rings. The HMR's lightweight exoskeleton is capable of deforming to a degree, making it a neat little shock absorber for landing, as well as helping to keep the key electronics isolated from too much vibration as this robotic hamster ball rolls, tumbles and bounces over rough terrain Video source: Revolute Rob

The autonomous Hybrid Mobility Robot (HMR) is a whirling, spherical cage that can fly like a multicopter, or roll in any direction using two gyroscopic gimbal rings. HMR is designed to serve a variety of applications including inspections in confined spaces, automated security patrol, construction and mine mapping, and military reconnaissance.
