    Inspiration: Star Wars no doubt about it.
    Probably just some weird publicity stunt for ep III.

    The developer, Alexandre Colot of the Swiss robotics firm K-Team, wasn't as impressed as the rest of the crowd.

    There not even interested, anyway it looks silly and cool too.

    LOL. That was funny! Actually, you can use a metal drill and destroy a rock all the same. Anyway, I think that to program a robot to ride a camel's extremely fascinating. I've never seen such a thing like that. :]
