We know you're not Tom Cruise and it's not the 2050s, but you can still imagine the famous scene from Minority Report - you know, the one where he's hiding from spidery tracker robots by submerging in the bath - with the help of the simply amazing Roboquad. Roboquad is a genuine first on a good many levels. It's the first true robotic arthropod - that's the family of animals including spiders and crustaceans - with many elements in common with the Mars robots designed by its inventor, pioneering NASA scientist Mark Tilden. Put basically, Roboquad is a highly evolved animated robot with unique multi-directional motion functionality and advanced sensory awareness. It sees. It hears. And it moves accordingly. But there's much more besides. Embodying the bleeding-edge BEAM technology of its stable-mates the Robosapiens, Roboraptor and Roboreptile, it does away with the frankly clumsy CPU-based processing of old and instead models its behaviour on more complex organic lifeforms (that's you and me). All of which enables this unique Quad to perform a simply mind-boggling set of 72 pre-programmed functions controlled from a 4-layer remote.

You can also thoroughly modify his personality and behaviour by altering his awareness, activity and aggression levels. Or just leave him be. And he'll explore his environment with practically no input from the outside world. Now that's what we call clever.
