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 ...

Linux is ubiquitous these days. It powers large-scale HPC systems and small embedded devices—from space to underground. And although it's quite easy (to some degree) to build an unmanned device like a ...

Physik Instrumente (PI), Auburn, Mass., will provide 25 six-axis hexapod alignment systems and motion controllers to Vertex Antenna Systems, a daughter Physik Instrumente (PI), Auburn, Mass., will ...

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 ...
