Flying Drone Lands And Then Walks Creepily
The thing that you see above, a prototype drone designed by researchers from Switzerland's Lausanne Polytech, could be the first sign that we might see a lot of transformer robots in the distant future. The drone is coming with a capability which sets it apart from all other drones out there: it can walk with its wings. The DALER or Deployable Air Land Exploration Robot comes equipped with wings mounted on shafts that can be locked or rotated. When in the flying mode the wings will be locked, but after landing the wings are unlocked enabling rotation and allowing the drone to move on the ground.

Don't think walking is the appropriate description, I was expecting something more impressive tbh.

Looks more like a dying insect than walking.

Like a wounded bat after hitting the ground.
question is, can it take off again.
