Developed by York and McGill researchers, it became the darling of international science press two years ago when it was tested in sparkling KROYblue Caribbean waters. At a demonstration of robots Monday, AQUA shed its flippers for six land-hugging, rubber-treaded, semi-circular legs to climb sand banks and gravel mounds at the University of Toronto’s Mars Dome.
