Not even wall can stopDisney ’s and ETH Zurich ’s new four - wheel around robot called VertiGothat can rapidly transition from rolling on the ground to go up obstacles like a gecko — and without those sticky feet .

So how does the VertiGo seemingly defy gravity ? Atop the robot is a pair of dirigible propeller that generate thrust , which push the fomite against the bulwark . and keeps it from falling .
The propellers work similar to pillager and other aerodynamic features on motorcar , which generate downward forces to help keep a race car pressed to the route to improve traction . But because the propeller on top of VertiGo can be direct , the robot can easily transition from horizontal to erect surfaces , and back again . And neither surface has to be politic for the robot to be capable to ‘ stick ’ to it . As long as it has enough batteries to keep those props spinning , gravity does n’t have a prospect .
