Designer Kare Halvorsen has updated his Hexapod robot.
It looks more like a giant ant, very realistic. Since 2009, Kare has been improving its operation and his prototype can now manipulate objects more easily.
The hexapod has 2 degrees of freedom on the abdomen and 3 on the head, and has 6 legs with 3 DDL each.
The robot has about 25 servo motors and is operated by a 2.4 GHz RC transmitter.
A giant version of a robot like that in the street... would you be scared? :-)
