In this series I will be documenting my design and testing process for making a 3D printed arduino hexapod. This video sets up the basic premise of the project with a quick test of a servo controlled ...

Say hello to KMR-M6, a little hexapod robot from Japanese robot maker Kondo. KMR-M6 is a six-legged bug designed for the hobbyist market, and in the configuration seen here, costs just ¥76,000, or ...

The term mad scientist gets thrown around quite a bit, but in the case of one Matt Denton it most certainly applies. His company, Micromagic Systems, has been working steadily over the past four years ...

Meet Stompy. He's a hexapod – a six-legged robot being built by a team of 15 students and three instructors at Artisan's Asylum in Somerville, Massachusetts. And if the rendering above didn't tip you ...

Stomping through the fields and industrial wastelands of Britain, this giant six-legged walking robot is a world first, say its creators. Weighing in at 1,900 kilograms (4,190 pounds) and measuring ...

Linux is ubiquitous these days. It powers large-scale HPC systems and small embedded devices—from space to underground. And although it's quite easy (to some degree) to build an unmanned device like a ...

Hexapod multi-axis motion and positioning platforms have been around for several decades. Initially used for exotic applications, these six-legged parallel-kinematic machines are now becoming popular ...

Though we haven't quite arrived at the personal home robot future predicted in many movies, there are many examples of robots being used in industry, emergency services support and surveillance.

Many of you have expressed some, um, concerns about a few of the bots we’ve covered in recent weeks. ATLAS, for instance, is quite frightening, but it’s not yet self-aware. This tiny hexapod, however, ...
