As quantum and photonics technologies continue to evolve, the need for precise optical alignment under cryogenic conditions is bec ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A while back, we had a sci-fi contest on Hackaday.io. Inspired by the replicators in Stargate SG-1, [The Big One] and a few other folk decided a remote-controlled hexapod would be a great build. The ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Many of you have expressed some, um, concerns about a few of the bots we’ve covered in recent weeks. ATLAS, for instance, is quite frightening, but it’s not yet self-aware. This tiny hexapod, however, ...
