China is to exhibit a second-generation example of its Snow Leopard bomb-removal robot at the Eighth China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition.
The developer, China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, made the announcement but gave few details of the latest version set for display and demonstration during AirShow China 2010 at Zhuhai Airport in the southern Guangdong province from Nov. 16-21.
The Snow Leopard is basically a platform on caterpillar racks but it can climb stairs, CASIC said. It features a hydraulically operated arm with two large flap-like "hands," which CASIC said have the dexterity to safely pick up objects as delicate as a cell phone but also has the strength to handle a 20-pound iron block.
