Roboquad is modelled on earth arthropods appearing almost crab like in design but with amazing 4 x 4 movement capabilities. With a high quality vision system and advanced sensory awareness, this is a prototype of robotic space probes that humans will send to other galaxies in the not so distant future.
Roboquad is a four-legged, intelligent robotic arthropod. Just like his insect, arachnid and crustacean brothers Roboquad has extraordinary multi-directional movement capabilities and advanced sensory awareness. Equipped with a deep infrared scanner and fast scanning head, Roboquad’s sophisticated eyes use a focused beam that reflects against the environment so that this advanced robot can sense movement from up to 1.8 meters away!

Leyland Brothers: Wheels Across Australia - A Journey Revisited rney Revisited |
|
The Leyland Brothers and their journeys across this country have become a part of Australian television history. For years, millions of Australians saw parts of this country they’d never seen before, simply because someone, somewhere, had “asked the Leylands”. Here, for the first time on DVD, is the Leyland Brothers’ historic West-East crossing of Australia in 1966 – from Steep Point in WA to Cape Byron in NSW – along with the recent retracing of the epic journey by Mal Leyland and his entourage. In the latter program, Mal discusses the contrast between the first and second expeditions, and how new communications and GPS devices have changed the notion of adventure travel. We also hear what inspired them to undertake such a journey, their reactions to seeing the people and places that so inspired them on their first journey, and find out how the Leyland’s adventures helped spawn the 4x4 revolution in Australia.
