Hexapod Dance Competition


[YouTube - Link]


Robots + Dancing = Awesome.

But is it useful to society in anyway? Maybe the way the Hexapod (six legged) robot moves flexibly and its precision movements could be applied to many fields. Until then we'll have to be just content with the robots dancing at the third Austrian Hexapod Championship.

OMG you guys! You gotta watch this synced up with the song "When Love Comes To Town" by U2. This is almost as good as Dark Side of Oz.

Simply start the video and the song at the same time, it meshes perfectly.

This video was bizarrely entrancing. It might have been the music, but I was reminded of the large prey hunting spiders who do a dance in front of their prey to mesmorize it.

If you ever see one of these in real life, and you find yourself staring blankly at it, your muscles going soft, it's probably already too late.

Yah it reminded me of the toy story doll head as well. I'm about to get on all fours and do the hexapod!

I actually just did a Dancing Robots post on my blog a few weeks back, which includes the Hexapod. Also includes 8 others that might be interesting to you guys http://tr.im/1ycl
