Great TED talk, and hey, maybe we will see that little unintelligent robot churn along on Mars one day!

Fascinating! Thanks for posting that Oersted. The implications of reliable mechanical walking robots for planetary exploration are pretty interesting, though it looks like a rather energy-intensive and unprecise process at this stage (or was, back in 2002, anyway.)
