Toronto Sun - Swimming robot showcased at G20 Summit

While protesters trashed downtown Toronto streets outside the security fence, and politicians met inside at the recent G20 Summit, Canadian scientists took the opportunity to showcase a Canadian first to visitors - the world's first and only swimming robot.

According to a release from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, a McGill University robotics team unveiled the six-legged AQUA2, which can do what no other robot can do: Walk on land, swim in water and dive to the bottom.
