[winchymatt]

Can't remember the name of the track, bu the band is Royksopp and the album was Melody A.M.

[winchymatt]

Hi, The last part of the video form 2:10 onwards the link is wireless. Cheers.

I love your robots. I do sculpture and creature creation and would love to see this brought into play with some of the creatures I make. This type of robot can be scaled up and used in all sorts of situations. Amazing work! :)

[winchymatt]

Hi, Thanks for the comment! This hexapod has been used in a film, although the scuplted body was pretty poor in my opinion. There was a beautiful sculpt started for a later film, but the plug was pulled and so it was never finished. Check my website for more details.

@winchymatt

Matt, this is just too much amazing!!

I wonder what kind of force sensor you use. Is it flexiforce resistor?

And about the compliance control, does it use PID also?

I can't wait for your response.

Thanks

why do we base robots on some sort of a life form?

why cant we make something completely new and much better than ourselves?

[onthecuttingedge2005]

this would make a cool surveillance bot and or a Mars rover, can you do some videos of real terrain adaptation like over sand, rocks, mud?

[arktikgraywolf]
