Glider Skating in the park

Published on Apr 11, 2013


Nick Donaldson's hexapod robot Glider goes for a skate on the tennis courts at the park.
Approximate top speed is 6mph / 10kph when skating, 10x the walking speed. The wheels are passively mounted at an angle to the legs, allowing them to roll on the ground when the legs are spread.

Robots That Skate and Slither

Published on Sep 25, 2014


One is cute and small, and the other is big and fearsome. But Glida and Titanoboa are both cool robots using unusual forms of locomotion. Doc North frolicked with them and their creators at this year's Bay Area Maker Faire.
