"i.c. Hexapod" interacts with people by following them around. If his gaze is held long enough, he takes a picture and uploads it to a website: hexapodrobot.com (Not always on-line ) Music: Vipco by AiM.

Is it senseing its orientaton in space or dose it just assume its on a flat surface?

The balence motions are very smooth but the walking seems a bit careful (in the other videos)

Any plans to market i.c. hexapod? or any of the component elements (p.brain)?

But asside from all that as an Art Work its very novel - give this man a prize.

Hi,

Thanks for your comments. iC assumes his world is flat. However, if you take a look at my other hexapod videos, you will see the V4 hexapod deals with terain using contact sensors.

Wonderful movement on that robot. Looks like something straight out of a sci-fi movie.

Incredibly smooth movements, I particularly like the way it shies away when you get too close. The occasional blink and o.O eyes make it seem friendly and curious, very nice work.
