Fuel Cell Robot

Fuel Cell, as a power generator, is largely attracting military researchers not because of its zero-emission, or eco-friendliness, but because of its almost absolute zero silence during operation. Sub-marines, under several hundred meters below water are prone to sound and heat detectors. Fuel Cells are enabling them to work in STEALTH mode. 

Robots are another application for Fuel Cell makers. 

A company named GEAR-EDS has renovated their incumbent GEARS SMP (Surface Mobility Platform) with Heliocentris 50 W Constructor Kit. From the picture it is evident that the hydrogen fuel storage was made by Ovonic WORKS, which specializes in low pressure Metal Hydride Hydrogen Storage. Not only is this robot the coolest looking robot, it is also extremely functional and robust.
