Over at the Artisan’s Asylum hackerspace in Somerville, MA, something terrifically awesome is happening. They’re building an 18-foot diameter, 2-ton ridable hexapod that can walk over a car. It’s ...

Project Hexapod is aiming to make the construction of large scale robots cheaper and easier for hobbyists with Stompy - an 18 ft (5.5 m) wide, 4,000 pound (1800 kg), 6-legged hydraulic robot that you ...

Harrison Bounds (MSR ‘25) transformed his passion into motion with a custom-built hexapod project that coupled design ingenuity and advanced robotics. Many robotics students start their journeys by ...

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 ...

“It’s a terrifying robot tarantula, run for your liiiii — oh, it’s slow. Maybe just walk for your life, then!” The MX-Phoenix isn’t really that scary at all. It’s a six-legged, spider-inspired robot — ...

A group of engineers and students in Boston, MA have dreamed up a rather inventive solution to the age-old problem of not having enough giant, robotic spiders on our roads, and its name is “Stompy”.

In this video, we take you on a fascinating journey into the world of robotics with the "Create Your Own Robot Spider" guide, ...

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 ...

I build robots that move, blink, and sometimes even creep you out. From animatronics to 3D printing experiments, I fuse ...
