Meet SPIDAR: This World's First Flying Arachnid-like is a Lightweight Vectorable Quadruped Robot

Flying robots are already things that people see on the internet or when a showcase is nearby, but this latest innovation from the University of Tokyo takes things to a whole new level, with its bot called "SPIDAR." This new robot is quadruped, meaning it stands on four feet, which may not exactly be reminiscent of a spider, but this arachnid-like machine can fly with no jet engines.

It uses dual rotors attached to each of its legs, and it achieves flight using only the eight machines, centering on a lightweight body and a vectorable feature for its propulsion needs.
