RHex is designed to be an all-terrain walking robot that can deal with curbs, stairs, puddles, rubble, sinkholes, and other obstacles to accomplish rescue missions or carry out sensor surveys in ...

Cockroaches actually have legs of different lengths, unlike RHex, and the robot’s proportions are completely different than the bug’s. But, like a cockroach, RHex can get over rough terrain ...

Okay, that's not strictly true. At the moment, RHex can only traverse most terrains, hurl himself over gaps around a couple of feet, and pull himself up ...

RHex is one of the robot-darlings of the internet, and this latest video shows exactly why. An all-terrain walking bot developed by US military researchers Boston Dynamics and the University of ...

By Doug Gross, CNN If you only watch one video today of a robot that hurtles across uneven terrain like a water-walking lizard, does gymnastic back flips and climbs tall objects, make it this one.

Arduino is now offering a fully-assembled robot, designed as a base platform for electronics tinkerers' DIY robotics projects. Its hardware and software are open-source, and designed to be hacked.

The DARPA-funded RHex has been around for a few years now but it's getting more talented as time goes on. Now it's taken up parkour - and looks weirdly cute. It's six paddle-like legs may look ...

The RHex robot project began about 15 years ago when researchers at several universities began asking what it would take for robots to traverse rugged terrain as well as animals do. "You look at ...

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have built a bioinspired robot called T-RHex, which uses microspines on its feet to grip onto rough surfaces. This allows it to climb up very steep ...
