In watching how the Pups are launched and used in the Pyramid mapping,,just how do they move around? THere seems to be no obvious engines/motors especially in such a small unit. The easiest explanation in my mind is a magnetic/anti gravity propulsion controlled by the self contained sensors..but it might be too Science Fiction based for this time period. But still look how easily the Pups move through the corridors storage holds. This just can't be isolated,,It movement must be based on some means that could have been adapted to moving other objects..even Prometheus size Star Ships.. If the technology can be used for these small onjects then that technolgy must be adaptable to other applications..

Artificial gravity is already well utilised in Prometheus and Alien (people can walk around the ship in space). That would be my guess for how the Pups manage to float.
The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent

I see what you mean.. It would then be of great use in using ATV's and the like,,,

The Pups are a curious item. The ability to pretty go pretty much anywhere they are programmed to,,with great ability.. Also I think that was one think in Fifield's life the he took great pride in showing off.. They must have a tremnedous energy supply as they are continous in use throught the mission.. In fact i don't recall them ever being turned off.. Early in the movie on the first Pyramid entry..there is scene where the question is asked.."Which way?.." Fifield answers .. "..The Pups say this way.."..But it not clear what is the group's destination..or what the pups are are supposed to lead the group to..

I'm thinking electromagnetic. We can already do some pretty cool stuff with it, who knows what 100 years could bring.

Wait, since when does story matter in Prometheus? I thought it was all about open-ended questions and the ambiguity of it all. How do the hyperdrive systems work in Star Wars? It's made-up technology; you could just accept that they fly somehow.

ANTI-GRAVITY RECOVERY CHAMBER Anti-Gravity Recovery Chambers are a highly sophisticated technology used in hospitals and rehabilitation centers. Research has shown that patients in anti-gravity conditions exhibit a 70% faster recovery rate from traumatic injury or disease. Weyland scientists designed a room-sized facility that simulates anti-gravity on a particulate level. Patients can receive the benefits of anti-gravity treatment while remaining comfortably in bed. This product is currently under limited release exclusively in major metropolitan areas on earth..... In checking out a few of Weyland's products this product description shows that anti-gravity was a company concern. So it's use with pups are is a given. Even it's use on the prometheus clears some questions as to how grwavity was created for the crew to function. Just a curiosity not a critical plot element.
