If you're impressed by some of the interesting angles found in photographs coming from the London Olympic Games, there may be more to those images than a flexible photographer.

Reuters has fit 11 of its cameras at the 2012 Summer Olympics with robotic cranes that allow the cameras to be adjusted on a six-axis plane. The photographer can control the camera by remote, allowing for angles and shots that no human could take.

For more information on these robotics, visit the Wired Web site.
