Blending vision computing with leg locomotion, University of Arizona robotics student Matt Bunting created a slider-like hexapod that caught the attention of tech companies such as Intel and HTL Laboratories, and led to Bunting being named ACE Award Student of the Year by EETimes, the leading electrical engineering industry magazine.

Bunting met with Intel Free Press in San Jose, after receiving his ACE Award to share his vision and challenges the led to the hexapod, which was replicated twice for Intel, and helped him get into theh direct PhD program at U of A, where he's currently collaborating on DARPA's Cheetah robot project.

Photos and video of the hexapod were provided by Bunting.
