2nd comment of this week "Sticky Gecko"

Hello!! Now in this week I was searching a good podcast and the last wednesday I found it. This is the page:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/nol/newsid_6370000/newsid_6375100/6375113.stm?bw=nb&mp=rm&news=1&nol_storyid=6375113&bbcws=1

Its a notice from 2005 and the topic is about a robot named "Sticky", it was created by a biologist of the univeristy of Canada, that learned robot machines in Necha (I didn´t reconognize well the word, it seems to me that he said "Necha" or "China"), well, this robot is a gecko and as his name says, it can be adhered in any superface, .It made of rubber in his legs and it was done for different intentions, one is that it can be like a toy, prncipally for his size, can be used for military plans for search information, because it has a very good managing of movement in his leg that it can move in the land with facility and for example if we are in a earthquake, he has the ability to be stay in the same place without any fault. The project cost two million dolars and its planned to go out on 2025, but in my personal opinion I think that the technology is advanced too fast so it will be finished completely and will go out to the sale.
