Meet 'Diden Spider', The Korean Robot That Can Climb Steel Walls And Weld Inside Ships · NDTV

The Diden Spider is a four-legged robot made for shipyards.

It uses magnets on its feet to stick to steel.

This lets it walk on floors, walls and even ceilings.

The robot can carry loads weighing up to 30 kilograms.

It can move through small openings and over uneven surfaces.

Workers could use it for welding and checking hard-to-reach places.

This may help reduce the need for people to work in dangerous areas.

The robot is still being developed and has been tested in Korean shipyards.
