The early lineages of hexapods (broadly defined insects) have long been debated. Researchers at University of Tsukuba and collaborators critically examined the newly proposed "Protura-sister" ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Engineered for continuous operation, the H-815 combines sub-micron positioning accuracy with a compact, high-stiffness architecture—ideal for precision alignment in space-constrained and demanding ...

Students from Ghent University in Belgium have developed a six-legged floor crawler that's sure to leave its mark on those it comes into contact with. The Scorpion Hexapod, which wouldn't look too out ...

What’s more awesome than a normal hexapod robot? What about a MEGA hexapod? Max the Megapod, a six-legged 3D-printed walking robot, is an open source, Arduino-based, Bluetooth controlled, Scratch ...

Some projects start with a relatively simple idea that quickly turns into a bit of a nightmare when you get to the actual implementation. [Hacksmith Industries] found this to be the case when they ...

The H-815 6-Axis Hexapod is a ruggedized, highly accurate, positioning and alignment system designed for continuous 24/7 operation in demanding industrial motion applications. Engineered as a durable ...
