U.S. military’s crawler prototype drives on water, land and everything in between
As the nation's armed forces think tank, the Defense Advance Research Projects Agency tends to think about problems most of us didn't know needed solutions -- like how worrying about communications during a nuclear war led DARPA to create the foundations of the Internet.
