Photos: Building an army of robots

The U.S. Army is building a fleet of nasty-named, driverless vehicles. On April 28, 2006, Carnegie Mellon University, DARPA and the Army unveiled the Crusher, a 6.5 ton, six wheeled unmanned ground combat vehicle. It's a hybrid transporter with an electric motor in each of its wheels and a suspension system that can overcome extremely rough terrain.

See Crusher in action.
