The Making of the EVOLTA Robot

Evolta  You've probably already read about Panasonic's EVOLTA robot climbing the Grand Canyon, but you can see a nice video on YouTube about the making of this cute little robot.

The text is in Japanese, but it shows how during an endurance test one of the parts failed and how robot creator Tomotaka Takahashi - maker of robots such as MANOI and neon - had to redesign it.
