Scorpion hexapod by Robbe Terryn, Stephan Flamand, Pieterjan Deconinck, 2016, Gent, Belgium

Embedded prototyping: Since the body of the scorpion is close to being finished, we can now really start programming all the moves on the robot itself. This is a first test of the walking (half speed). This will be tuned in the next days. Other moves and tricks are in development.

In this video, we give an update on the scorpion hexapod. We added elastic strings to the legs to counter gravity. This reduces energy consumption by a big amount.
Body inverse kinematics were added, which is demonstrated.
