The robot is able to walk across uneven terrain with ease. Image Credit: Schaft / YouTube / mehdi_san The as-yet-unnamed creation, which has been designed mainly for home rather than military use, was unveiled during the 2016 New Economic Summit in Japan earlier this week.

The innovative robot, which has not been designed to mimic the humanoid form, bears more than a passing resemblance to the robots from the Christopher Nolan science-fiction movie Interstellar.

Despite appearances however the new machine is surprisingly adept at climbing up stairs, walking across uneven terrain, carrying heavy loads and can even vacuum the floor using its feet.

This is one robot that could conceivably end up in everyone's home in the not-too-distant future.
