They folks at VIA ARENA have posted a fascinating article with a great video about the incredible BEAR rescue robot. Don't let the carefully calculated cartoonish exterior fool you: this robot can snatch a wounded soldier from under the eyes of an enemy sniper by literally sliding up to the wounded soldier and sliding its arms under the soldier. It then picks up the soldier and can crawl up and down stairs WHILE CRADLING THE WOUNDED SOLDIER IN ITS ARMS! The video is really cool too.

The robot's processing is powered by VIA processors and chipsets. Look out for this incredible piece of machinery in the next few episodes of Checkpoint Charlie - here on Ultra Mobile Life.
