MorPhex mkII - the incredible transforming robot - outdoors

submitted by Zawash

1 decade 11 months ago

MorPhex is becoming more and more advanced - here's an outdoor test where it seems to work very well in deed! :)

From Motherboard:
This Rolling, Transforming Droid Is the Stuff of Nightmares
So, this is how it starts. You hear a crunch, crunch, crunch—the sound of an imperfectly-round plastic ball rolling over concrete, chasing you down an alley. You look back and you see this… thing. It was a sphere a few seconds ago, but now is an ambling, walking machine of death. The top opens like a flower, or like a nuclear launch silo, whatever simile you prefer. In any case, the MorpHex is a robot that looks like it’s straight out of your (my?) nightmares.

I really like this little robot. It's quite elegant in the ways it moves. I hope he mass-produces them for experimenters. I'd like to try my hand at making a bowling-bass firmware.

Valve has to add these to Portal 3.

I, for one, welcome our new hexapod overlords.

Damn you, beat me to it.
