Inventor Matt Denton has built a fully operational hexapod robot that you can drive around. Yet another reason to be careful on the roads these days, folks. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, ...

Matt Denton is a British animatronics engineer who has made robots for "Star Wars," "Harry Potter," and "Jurassic World." Denton was one of two engineers that built BB-8, the roller-ball droid from ...

Andrew Thompson looks back on what he and his fellow Master of Science in Robotics (MSR) students took away from sharing their work at one of Chicago's iconic museums. Chicago's Museum of Science and ...

Recently, a research group from Robotics Institute of Beihang University, China has developed a novel multifunctional hexapod robot with leg–arm integration which is named ALLOMAN (Arm-Leg Locomotion ...

PI, a global leader in precision motion control and nanopositioning, debuted a new innovative high-bandwidth lever-hexapod with direct-driven lever-actuators at LASER World of Photonics in Munich last ...

It often seems that soon after a new type of scientific or industrial robot is unveiled, a hobbyist model follows. First, there were the Bittle and Mini Pupper miniature quadrupeds – now, there's the ...

Can a six-legged machine be the key to restoring forests devastated by wildfire? The answer might just be yes in Portugal, ...

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 ...

Most people likely think of robots as complex electronic devices, made up of many parts that have to be assembled in factories. An experimental new non-electronic bot, however, can be 3D-printed all ...

6-axis nanopositioning system assembly provides the ultra high precision required to mount and align optical components to be launched into space, new from PI. Image Credit: PI (Physik Instrumente) LP ...

This one has, well legs. Look out for similar projects perhaps dropping off the walking part which would then walk into a building or to the edge of something to perch and stare. The Hex coming back ...
