In ieee.org they have made ​​a compilation of the most original robots that have appeared in recent weeks, and the list begins with a strange mechanical be eight feet.

It is Halluc IIx, of furo.org , designed to function as a vehicle capable of seamlessly integrated into any environment model.


It has 56 motors that allow its movement on different surfaces, treating the relief as if they were steps. It can be transformed in three modes: insect, animal, traditional vehicle mode, each mode designed to move in different places.
