MX-Phoenix hexapod robot outdoor part II 

Morp Hex is still my fav but this one is pretty rad as well.

That is an amazing control system you have there. Different gaits, smooth motion, adaptive walking, and full body articulation.

Very nice! Best terrain adaptation I have seen.

Great work - Would be interesting to add IR distance sensors to each foot such that ground clearance in each step can be kept to a minimum

That's the best hexapod I've seen so far.

Definitely the best channel for Hexapods out there.

FANTASTIC!!!!!!YOU ARE EVER THE BEST FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its incredible what it can climb. Most robots cant even go up 5 degree inclines

Great work! Already looking forward to the next video.

Oh boy.. you are improving. This work is amazing, I'm dreaming to make something similar but I'm far from that.

Really like the hexapods u have. Would like to buy one in the future somewhere. I love everything that is RC :)

If only hexbug had known about the robot mastery in this guy's backyard.

3:18 AAAAAAAAAH

... jsut to add, thanks for uploading an amazing project...

This is amazing. very cool, nice work !

Can't wait till I have a 3D printer and a higher level of robotic expertise!!!! I would hope to make it steam powered though (steam engine in a 2D axis stabilizer powering an electric generator would seem the best way) I would love to see a steampunk multiped-walker!!!!

Awesome, I hope I will build my own robot in future.

bigger with people in can goo every were this is perfect

I like his wiggles

RU-vid needs a love button too.

If only this was on sale

dat spooder boi is on adventure!!!

Very cool!

Very nice, the body rotations @ 3:10 are so smooth. The gloss on the 3d printed parts really fits the design. Do the leg switches still detect good touchdowns at high walking speeds?

"lemme do a little dance before I walk."

You should try using a machine learning algorithm to train the robot legs to work more fluidly. It seems to bounce when it walks instead of act how say a real life spider "body" would.

Awesome!

ciao mi sono iscritto come avevo detto per lo sponsor!!grazie mille per l occasione

pretty dang slick

At the end, it seems like it can move really fast! Have you tried that in the rougher terrain?

I want to see it run

your robots are awesome! i'm building one too but i can't figure out how to make it rotate his body on x and y. do i have to use rotation matrices?

Zenta mate can you please share your build for that remote.

Thats some meaty servos. How much weight can it carry?

HEY YOU ARE GREAT, MAN!

Hello, do you have the code to donwload? I have all the parts printed on my 3d printer but i try a few months to install the phoenix code but all time i fail. Thank you

best quality: his wiggles

I can picture a Velodyne LiDAR on top so it can navigate around its surroundings autonomously

Just waiting for then to make it big and with stablizer on, so you can record smooth cinematics clips down stairs.

awesome!

Good work! I think the gait could be improved. Right now it's like walking on moon

awesome

Me: _"Let's see how much this will cost in parts..."_ Store: Servos 7'730.- Me: _"Uhh..."_

Hey for halloween I had an idea. Make a morphex pumpkin. You could make little pointy bits where the legs attach to the sphere and then replace the sphere pieces with pumpkins pieces shaped the same way

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn Not as eye-candy like as the Morphex, but it looks pretty user friendly from what i can see with the controller Atleast user friendly from what i expect from early robot designs

Is the "butt wiggling" a calibration process or just showing off the capabilities?

Cool!

Love it, am working on an edison to control some AX12s right now, are you sharing the source for this like you have other projects in the past? I understand if you are not :)

it's awesome :)

where can i get one but 10 times bigger :p

Hey im young but will be getting in to college early soon (to get basics out of the way so ill be able to get in to my career classes when im 18) and i was wondering what kind of place you'd work at in order to make robots like these? I really wanna build robots professionally but have no clue where i'd work after im done with college and it's kind of scaring me..

I wanna see it running. :D

Great Work. Have you integrated an IMU and Feet Sensors ?

Hi Kåre, Awesome robot! Do you have the C++ code for the robot including the DynaZgait shared on Github?

All I can think of is a full size one I can ride

잘 만듬.

Cool

Hi, I'm a producer with Mashable and we'd love to feature the 'MX-Phoenix' in a video story. May we use your footage and credit you? Thanks for your time and consideration.

Ser jo sykt kult ut, mulig å kjøpe en slik?

Great

Do u share 3d model? Or is it commercials? Thanks

+Zenta @Zenta Have you ever had plans to patent the MorpHex and license it?

Awesome job! I am planning on using Dynamixel motors for a project. How much factor of safety did you use in the torque calculations? Also did you use stall torque to spec the motors? I am new to these motors so any help is appreciated!

3 Years on are you still working on these ?

how much payload can this robot handle (if you were to mount it in the center))? 1kg? 2kg?

Why are those servos so expensive?

how much will it cost me to build one or buy one from you it's so cool I want a robot like this

My son and I want to try this code soooo badddd

What kind of switches are you using for the tip of the feet? Are they switches or "linear"?

Dear Zenta, i am in need of your help! I own a phoenix like hexapod, self build from scratch. i recently rebuild the entire hexapod with 3D printed parts. I also replaced the electronics to a raspberry pi (python) => arduino nano (for running the phoenix code) => PCA9685 16ch pwm servo controllers with an i2c interface. I wondered if you could help me convert the phoenix code to work with these (nowadays the new standard) ne servo controllers. if it would be possible to convert the entire code to python, even better. But arduino code is just fine too. I just really need your help since i don't understand what is for driving the ssc-32 and what i should replace... please contact me!!!

how long is it able to crawl around?

help my code will not complie what can you sell me a teensy load for 3df with ps2 for ssc I have torobot and lobot servo that take tx rx input

hy sir i m in diploma computer in india...sir i need ur help for making that type of spider...i can write code my self but can u pls tell me what is the size of leg..plz

Nice work Kåre. Are you considering using custom 3D printed aluminum tibias if you have time (ref: www.hrl.com/news/2017/09/20/metallurgy-breakthrough-hrl-engineers-3d-print-high-strength-aluminum-solve-ages-old-welding-problem-using-nanoparticles)? It may be interesting to have the entire structural design optimized for aluminum using software like Altair Hyperworks. You smartly avoided sheer stress-related issues others reported in hex spider designs by using Interbotix MX-196 Tibias... I was unfamiliar with the Aceton Vapor treatment of ABS, thank you for laying that out on your blog. Also, would you consider posting your stl or design files to your GitHub? (I'm relatively sure you could have your next round of open-source development costs crowdfunded). Looking forward to your future work!

imagine this as a weapon with guns but more bigger

Will you ever put the body frame on the market?

Whats its top speed?

Hør nå her lille venn: lag en Kickstarter hvor vi kan kjøpe en slik og med pengene du får utvikkler du konseptet videre.

can it adapt to being kicked over??

How was this made?

Where can i get one of these?

2:48 it even twerks

So Biiig...

Zenta can i buy 1?

scale it up by 10 times and sell it to you know, interested people with a strange feel of the need of security

Open source code ?

and i mean the morfex model

is it opensource?

Any plans to update the board to teensy 4.1?

2:52 sexy robot dance

Moving as smooth as that... it could be wearing a thong with paper money hanging out.

make it jump

If only it could move faster

Can I talk with you?

Dear Zenta, I need your help converting the Phoenix hexapod arduino code to use the PCA9685 i2c servo controllers (adafruit). I really need your help since i don't know what parts to replace (ssc-32 commands). Please contact me!!! plus.google.com/+ManoBiletsky

how to buy this thing

With a little fur, it would trigger my arachnophobia. _uh but actually arachnids have 8 legs_ SHUT UP IT LOOKS SPIDERY OK??

Stop making these things.

awesome
