Man imitating Nature with amazing results, once again.
Problem is, this prototype would need a really long power cord to rescue a fallen mountain climber. ;-)

A friend of mine was working on something like this for the military to be used as a surveillance camera that can put itself in place. If anyone asks you didn't here that from me though.
