Halluc II insect-like robot

Japanese certainly love their robots, and this love has been proven once again with the Halluc II robot from the Future Robotics Technology Center.

Alternatively, it can also move about on wheels like a car as well as sharing the same mannerisms like a quadrupedal mammal. The point of such a robot is to develop machines that can traverse across virtually any terrain in the future. Could this mean more mobile personal transport systems that could park even in the tightest of spaces in the future? Only time will tell.
