Lockheed’s new robotic creation knows how to operate incognito around humans. It actually listens for humans, guesses where they might be looking and then finds itself a hiding spot.
How can it be so sneaky, you ask? It is equipped with a 3D laser scanner. It also has an array of acoustic sensors that allow it to localize footsteps and voices.
Lockheed Martin’s robot is not the first of its kind; however, it is on technology’s cutting edge. Georgia Tech also created a “spybot” , which uses deliberately deceptive tactics to fool other robots and humans.
