Military personnel who sustain an injury, particularly traumatic brain injury or musculoskeletal injury, can experience a range of lasting effects, including impaired postural stability — essentially, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Meet Stompy. He's a hexapod – a six-legged robot being built by a team of 15 students and three instructors at Artisan's Asylum in Somerville, Massachusetts. And if the rendering above didn't tip you ...

When it comes to mobility and articulation, it turns out that using six robot snakes as legs actually results in a walking hexapod that can easily scramble over almost any terrain. But when it comes ...

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 ...

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 ...
