Toyota has unveiled a game-changing mobility device—and it walks. Literally. Inspired by mountain goats, the “Walk Me” prototype ditches wheels for legs and can climb stairs with ease. Kris Abel explains how this works, what it means for accessibility, and why it’s different from anything Honda’s robotics have done before.

Also in this episode: the jaw-dropping new tech letting scientists track monarch butterflies across their massive migration route using tiny solar-powered tags. And for anyone with mixed devices in their life, there’s finally a breakthrough—Androids and iPhones can now share files effortlessly thanks to a quiet update from Google.

This episode blends futuristic tech with real-world solutions that matter.
