Phoenix, a hexapod robot

[Vaspra54]

If I had a pound for every pixel in this video - I'd have 19p

Cool robot though

[144Slaya]

ok where da fuck can I get one of these thingies?! O_O

[ZGzoids]

Man you people are just amazing!

I want to build one!

[youfuckhim123]

ill be BACK

[tersantotocantins]

show de bola.....................

[nathanbollman]

Until I see a high-resolution shot of this I cry 'FAKERY!!!'

Ask yourselves... would someone with the technology to put this nice piece of machinery together not bother to take a high resolution video to demonstrate their work...

Great animation overlay though.

[ZentaOlbaid]

@nathanbollman LOL. This is a 3 years old video. Check out my other videos if you think its fake..

[StickerMedia]

@nathanbollman Really, why would it be fake? Get out into the real world and experience TECHNOLOGY.

Also, Zenta is awesome!!

[Majeeva]

@nathanbollman Go study CG for 4 or 5 years before you go around crying fake

[jmichaelrowland]

@nathanbollman There are a lot of smart people who don't know what a good video looks like.

[AnnikaSkywalkr]

@nathanbollman I really hope this is a joke comment or you just haven't seen one of these before. I work in robotics and can attest that if this is a fake video, he did far more work than it would take to really program the hexapod. Also, Robotics Engineering doesn't imply the ownership of a high quality camera.

[alexgrinkov]

@nathanbollman

haha, probably in 2007 that was the highest resolution

[CyberSword10]

@nathanbollman what if it isn't his?

[crydepunkmuffin]

such a cool robot...

...and such a shit camera :,(

[mikelikes2roll]

Looks like you have IK down.

[Colm24e]

I want to see it run. As in walking forward...except fast.

[13Cadavre13]

"Battle drone online." )))

Nice robot, I wish my brain was capable of creating something half as good... :P

[died4hislove]

Nice! See also on youtube: NEWEST ROBOT THAT WALK ON WATER

[coolio104]

Please, show more walking. This is the best thing on youtube that I have seen yet!!!

[calex64]

I am sorry but there are some way better than this one. Not really a stable walking :) But nice anyway...

[ZentaOlbaid]

This was my very first video i took in august 2007. Check my other videos. Evolution, you know ;)

[badboyplayerxxx]

i love the fact it isn't connectet to a computer whit a stupid usb cable or something...

[Gunneryxc]

very cool one i can say, nice vid 5/5

[Ugottadonkadonk]

insane!

[Vanotr]

if it was A LOT smaller it would be great

[Craydon]

Where are people learning how to make these?

[YouLoveBeef]

It loooks like Temple of Nod when it "sits".

[Sursion7]

All it needs is a scorpion tail ;)

[ujayet]

Wow this is the best spider bot i've seen on Youtube so far. you should show its walkin a bit more.

[RockStarSoul]

With all those legs, it should be able to do more than just wiggle around.

[MrLuckviewer]

better to have any sounds..

[NoiteraD]

Awesome how smooth the movements are...looks pretty cool also

[jkopps12]

wow i saw this on a website, and didn't know it was this good, awesome, now i just need to start saving for it. Sweet.

[HeartInSanFrancisco]

This is how it all starts, an amusing little robot. Next thing we know, it can run 80 MPH, claw my neck, and turn me into a bloody pulp.

I saw all the Terminator movies, so I know what I am talking about.

I won't be able to sleep tonight.

[mitchelitis12]

hahahaha, you rock!

[pornomaster109]

you watch too much terminator -.-

[ogGaurdian]

lol u'll be fine terminator is fake remember

[CygnusTheif]

@HeartInSanFrancisco

you really think that they would make something like that?

[JashuTheNinja203]

Do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight! lol.

[bpjc76]

i have the crab i wish i had this one never mind that good vid

[embeddedboards]

Really nice work :)

[wheagy]

May I ask what type of servos you are using?

[ZentaOlbaid]

6 x Hitec 475 and 12 x 645MG on my original.

For the LM Phoenix I'm using 18 x 645MG

[cutelilmurderer]

Wicked! Reminds me of a trilobite (spelling?).

[astoever]

That is some wicked movement. Congratulations!

[meckpommer]

is it right, that your hexapod doesn't compute his movements onboard? all is pre-calculated with a pc?

[ZentaOlbaid]

That is correct. For know I'm using a excel program to make sequences. I run the sequences from Visual sequencer from Lynxmotion.

But my goal is to make it controlled by an onboard microcontroller.

[upswubbzy2]

so u want to move by voice comands...X3

[aibot21]

Great stuff, very smooth.Keep up the good work.

[aibot21]

Great stuff, very smooth.Keep up the good work.

[aibot21]

Great stuff, very smooth. Keep up the good work.

[meckpommer]

Hey, great!

Have you build it yourself completely? More informations about hard- and software please :)

[ZentaOlbaid]

Hey Thanks!

Yes I have built it complete by myself. Hardware: SSC32 servoctrl. BlueSMIRF interface. Using Sequencer on PC from Lynxmotion. I'm using a excel program to create walking gait sequences, calculate Invers and Forward kinematic. Can also define accurate center of rotation (Yaw), roll and pitch for the body. The Excel program also makes .CSV file that I import to the Sequencer prog. It is very easy to make complex sequences. For the time I'm working with new body and tibia design.
