Researchers at Duke University developed Argus, a spherical robot with 20 legs and 20 sensors that act like eyes, allowing it to see and move in every direction. Built using a concept called dynamic symmetry, the robot can generate movement equally in all directions for better balance and agility. Argus can walk across tough terrain, climb obstacles, track objects, and continue working even if some legs or sensors fail.
