In several places around this world, under the watchful eye of an organization called DARPA, people are working on creating robots that can operate underground, performing whatever task their human masters have in mind. If that wasn’t scary enough in itself, one of the teams working on this calls its project CERBERUS.

You see, Cerberus is the name, in Greek mythology, of a dog with multiple heads that guards the doors to Hell. Guards as in it may allow people in, but most certainly won’t allow people out.
Now, in the case of these robots, we’re told the name is just an abbreviation of something that has nothing to do with dogs and hell. CERBERUS stands for CollaborativE walking & flying RoBots for autonomous ExploRation in Underground Settings – and now we know the team behind this project really wanted this name to happen.
