Robot, known as Mini Rover climbs slopes

Caption

The robot, known as the Mini Rover, climbs a slope by using a design that combines paddling, walking, and wheel spinning motions. This close-up image shows one of the appendages of the Mini Rover. The leg can be raised and lowered and the wheel moved from side to side to move through loose granular surfaces.
