Hexapod

Matt Denton’s impressive hexapod robot is now available in kit form over at Trossen Robotics. We’ve seen it doing cool stuff for about a year now, and it’s finally up for purchase. The hexapod comes with a brain that dynamically generates the leg movements based on where you’re telling the robot to move, ensuring a smooth and naturally coordinated (shall we say, lifelike?) gait.

The kit comes with all necessary servos (twenty of them), a pan/tilt head, and a battery (but no wireless remote), and will set you back a cool $1000. Dress it up, teach it to dance, and you’ll consider it money well spent.
