Watch a robot dog running underwater

MAB Robotics unveiled the latest trick from its Honey Badger robot on Tuesday. In a video, the four-legged friend can be seen running along the bottom of a pool. Legs are generally no more useful than propellers or other standard methods of locomotion for underwater robots, but the video shows a sense of robustness and dynamism not often seen in such sophisticated systems.

The Polish company cites search and rescue services as a potential application for a land robot that doesn’t mind going into the water.
