Korean researchers have developed ARMstrong Dex, a disaster-response humanoid robot capable of cutting through thick wood with a handheld saw. The robot demonstrates precision and control necessary for disaster zones without powered tools. It can lift 88 pounds with one arm, perform weighted pull-ups, and throw objects accurately. This hydraulically powered robot traverses rough terrain on caterpillar tracks and can lift up to 441 pounds, making it ideal for hazardous environments like nuclear plants.
