This little fellow is the TiaLinx Cougar20-H , a surveillance robot. He is capable of detecting any sneaky human presence-even through thick concrete walls-by way of a ultra-wideband radio frequency sensor array and that specialize in biorhythmic patterns-reminiscent of breathing.
There aren’t too many details available concerning the spy robot, but he definitely sounds perfect for covert operations:
Operated from a laptop which might be more than 300 feet away, the robot can scan through reinforced concrete by detecting reflected radio waves. It could find those people who are moving or perhaps keeping still, so the operator can see them in real time.
Don’t worry too much about ever facing the Cougar20-H though, because he’ll mainly be shipping to a couple select government agencies in addition as a handful of law enforcement and firefighter departments. [ CNET ]
