FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a networked robotic spider explorer unit with the capability to transverse rough and uneven terrain and fly with jet packs.
BACK GROUND OF THE INVENTION
Transverse rough and uneven terrain can be difficult or impossible for wheeled robotic vehicles, jet pack enable large jumps. Further more exploration of large areas by astronauts is time consuming risky navigation for a human beings. However, the using networked robotic spider explorers will remove the risk and maintain accuracy and consistency of exploration and record every interaction point with the environment.
