The real Iron Man triathlon: robot to swim, cycle and run one of the world's toughest challenges | Mail Online: "Evolta has already climbed a 1,500ft rope up the Grand Canyon, driven the Le Mans circuit for 24 hours - now it will don three different bodies to 'run', 'swim' and 'cycle' Hawaii's triathlon, one of the longest on Earth.
Don't expect Evolta to ride a professional-grade 'human' bicycle, though: the robot is around the size of a human hand. It's also by no means certain he will succeed - his first Grand Canyon climb failed due to a faulty 'foot'.
'This is very tough even for a sportsman, but I think it is worth a try,' said Tomotaka Takahashi, a veteran robot creator who has also created a 10-foot-tall 'rescue' robot with hydraulic arms capable of lifting a car. "
