Advanced walking robots for BBC documentary

Hello all

my name is Rob Pilley and I am a TV producer based in the UK. We are developing and filming a new BBC series that features detailled walking robots that articulate and walk like real animals.

Ideally what i would like are quadrupedal robots that can actually walk like a dog or cat or larger (lion??!) and have adaptable, sensored feet for different terrains etc.

I am not expecting the robots to be built at the moment, I am just searching for the engineers and model makers and ideas-men who can conceive and build such devices.

Id love to hear from any of you who would be interested in this project and working with us to make some spectacular robots!

Please email me at [email protected] if interested

Kind Regards

Rob
