HEXA, hexapod robot, Vincross Inc., Beijing, China

A user named Ghostintheshell from Vincross forum made a shell for HEXA and turned it into a Tachikoma from GhostInTheShell.

One of our beta users programmed his HEXA to see and chase red like a bull.

My little robot HEXA arrived! Let's see what I can do with it...

I'm gonna try the developer SDK soonish and there will be another video coming out as well.

Today we unbox and test out the all new HEXA! This amazing six-legged robot can walk, run, climb, and travel across rough terrain! With many sensors and servos, this robot is a strong easy to use platform for both robotic expert enthusitasts and beginners!

In this video, we unbox and setup HEXA. Then we go into the basic functions of explorer mode, rescuing our good buddy Cozmo using Night Vision! Then we go over the other apps such as Dance, Bull fighting, and much more!

I’m an all-terrain hexapod robot. I fit in a backpack. I have a variety of sensors, an open operating system, and an easy-to-use SDK. I’m the starting point of an artificial life. It’s nice to meet you.

This video is a paid review for the Vincross HEXA Hexapod robot. I show the unboxing and setup for the robot, and also 3D print a custom piece to interface to the hardware and open source API.

Programming robots can be difficult but this little robot tries to change that. The hexapod comes with its own operating system that allows people to easily program commands for the robot. The developers hope Hexa will be a pathway into robot coding.
