Video shows robotic installation Cat 6 cabling above drop ceiling

A recent YouTube video demonstrates a wireless robotic platform, dubbed Minibot, installing Cat 6 communication cable above a drop ceiling. Especially intended for building inspection, security/surveillance and wire installation applications, the compact, lightweight robot was developed by a company called Inspector Bots.
