The robot is more than just lovable. With six rotating flippers, three on
each side of its boxy metal carapace, this machine is amphibious,
capable of both walking and swimming-an attribute that is unique in the
robot world. It's designed to explore aquatic environments, and it may
help save endangered coral reefs, too.
