A Panasonic robot is going to take on a ‘1,000m fjord vertical climb’ in Norway this week.
The company’s EVOLTA Robot will attempt the feat on 7 July at Lyse Fjord, Norway. It is the latest instalment of the EVOLTA Robot Challenge, which has previously seen robots successfully climb the cliff of the Grand Canyon, and complete a triathlon.
Friday will be another tough test – for a robot powered by two AA dry cell EVOLTA NEO batteries.
Tomotaka Takahashi, who created the Mr EVOLTA NEO robot, said: “I am so excited for this year’s challenge on the world’s precipitous 1,000m fjord vertical climb. I am aware that we have to undergo difficulties to succeed. Our robot will be moving all day powered only by Panasonic’s two EVOLTA NEO dry cell batteries that can give a stable power supply to the robot. We have set our bar higher this year, but looking forward to our greatest challenge through leveraging and maximizing our past experiences.”
