- Here is some more video of the Hexapod/Hexcopter in action.
We show off the Movement of the legs, Walking around and taking off while walking, Landing while walking, and by user request PICKING STUFF UP WITH THE LEGS!
For the first video check out: • Walking Quadcopter, or...

This is the creepiest, yet coolest thing I've seen in a long time.
This just gets me thinking "military UAV" all the time - very sweet concept and build!
Thanks Andrew, and thanks for your help getting the Hexapod up and running. You saved us countless hours.
Awesome, guys! keep up the good work!!!
Awesome project! Good job!
Man..Let me say this..In my 17 years with internet, I have never uploaded a youtube comment ever. But this stuff is the bomb man..Kudos to you guys and keep up the maker spirit guys..Woohh..And the music is kickass too...Seriously would consider having one of these if I could...with a camera mount, a rubber-paded legs and two laser cannons:D
Holy lord! Awesome.
That is so freekin Awesome guys well done
Wait, I'm the first viewer? Awesome!
Anyway, I just thought you guys should know you have made the coolest robot I've ever seen. Keep it up!
Protatoast, the music is from Digital Juice. We will update the descriptions to include the name and disc set.
great work
That looks crazy!!!
You are indeed first, we just posted this minutes ago! Glad you like it!
More cool videos to come over the next couple days.
Awesome!
wow this is great guys.
Very Nice by the way
Great Job! As the koters are used for Windcraft inspections, you are one of the favorits to try landing on one of these blades and wal´k along for inspection, That will be a good buisness for the future.
Good luck cheers Matze
If spiders had wings, I would not want to live on this planet anymore.
Nice!!!
cool stuff
Great !
brilliant
nice idea
Incredible creation!
(Vsauce Army)
COOOOL !
Woow.. Awesome! :)
Okay so the flight duration is well over 10 minutes. We have a constant 13 minute clip of hovering and leg testing. I would guess to say 15-20 min is achievable. Currently the Overall AUW it 10.8lb hovering at under 45% we could easily add 2-3 more pounds and have stable flight. Currently it's running 2-5000mAh 3s batteries.
Wow,very stable (y)
it's hard to be stable on the air especially you have extra load ( those legs ) and it's hard to stabilize when you made another movement with those legs too
Excellent!
really coooooool
The legs are really more just like wicked landing gear and a good grabber.
LoL! Awesome guys!
impressive
Thats it . THAT is what I want for christmas ! . . . SO FREAKING AWESOME !
And the music, does someone know what track that is ?
You guys are going to give me nightmares with that thing , now i don't trust my F550 hexacopter anymore because of this video .
Future guerilla warfare: little flying robots, thowing shit at people like bricks, rocks and stuff
oh this is such a new vid, i found it on vSauce haha no wonder it dosent have one million veiws yet
So this is what the real apocalypse will look like.
that Amazing
WOW! Can a camera be mounted on it? AND could it have wheels (instead of claws) so (we) can get a shot of it swooping (POV) then landing and chasing something? Cool stuff! Thanks for the video!
Cool but would it not be better to make the wings fold out? Seems like a cool pet project I just feel like it would be cool to see you revisit it
What's the flight duration, as in how long will it fly on one battery charge?
What is its maximum payload?
Really interesting work!
Could you please share the 3-D model of the chassis which you have used?
I'm a hobbyist trying to build this on my own.
AWESOME!....Awesome..and CREEPY!
I just came here to say that that shit is mad ill
You should use that extra 2-3 lbs to add an FPV system. Then you'd have the ultimate retreival system/search machine.
You should use that extra 2-3 Lbs to add an FPV system w/ head tracking and aurdupilot mega 2.5. Then you'd have yourself a sweet machine. You'd never have to worry about loosing a ball over the neighbors fence that's for sure. LOL. but seriously... search and rescue/retreival. Possibilities are endless.
WOW!!!!!!!!!
What kind of battery life do you get? I imagine that both systems running concurrently draw a lot of power.
OH MY GOD!
Great, now how about the arms of the hex copter being able to fold in to make it stream line when crawling
O.O now imagine if the military had one... That would be sick!
That does it, I'm preparing the bunker for when these gain sentience and start attacking us.
You should up scale it, go another 200% bigger, run it off petrol, I think law enforcement could be interested, because this could fly into places other things cant, plus it could climb over difficult terrain.
maybe in the future there could be a vehicle like this
Would it retain flying capability if one rotor was disabled?
FPV gear on both the hexcopter and hexapod are planned.
Did that thing pick up a companion cube?
A flying SPIDER... great...
any update regarding the music used in the video?
What is the total build cost? Like $2k for the hexapod kit, then how much for the coptor part, and how much for all the new carbon fiber?
Cool and a bit creepy :).
I have the same questions, and am very curious to know the answers. Please vote up!
This is a huge step to build houses or buildings with programmed swarms that can carry small puzzlebits to build bigger things.
And because it is small materials, and if you sight for a business for these genius robots. The massproduce process would go down in price for sure.
Look at iphone, when you have right factory that builds it, and good materials, it could be cheep and affordable and also go mainstream! It is just a question! To massproduce or not!
Flying spiders... well we're fucked.
What sort of money are we looking at in that case? I mean, this is awesome enough to shell out some coin for.
Now all you have to do is make it 100ft high and convert it into a mobile military platform.
Flying robotic headcrabs.
What is the total weight of this beast?
isn't it a S800 on the left on table ?
make a cermercial, give it some armor and a sweet paint job. Become rich and famous with you're brand
Where can I buy one please inbox me?
We are currently thinking that a completely assembled, ready to use out of the box kit will cost about $5500
MadLabIndustries can I please get d details of this ... m working on d same project
can you name aprox price, plz?
Ah saw your response of 10 - 20 minutes. Can you just not add another battery or two to the payload?
If we were to sell it as a Finished Product it would be very expensive, even in kit form. Not to say we have not considered it....
Fucking Christ, I want one... put an advanced optical system on this thing and BAM!!!
check wiki balloning spider
A Seagull does not have six rotor blades, and is therefore less awesome.
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
I want one so that i could bite someones head with it. Ok, kidding, but will this ever be sold as a product, or perhaps a diy kit?
There are.
Sort of.
Google gliding spiders.
You are free to leave the planet now.
Why spend weeks building this when you can just tape a crab to seagull?
So dudes... How expensive is very expensive... (Alrdy saving up)
I agree robotics is a different ballgame, these guys are just operating r/c devices. This certainly is not robotics !!! They can havve all the pleasure they want, but how is this difficult to achieve ? Two totally seperate operated r/c devices attached to each other. Cool would be to have the legs invert themselves and turn into rotors.
lol
Shut up and take my money!
shut up and take my money!
now automate it and give it a gun!
Try designing it, and you will see that what you say is not true. Try drawing it and then try to say that it is impossible.
That is jsut a waste of time. What use is it if you need two people to control it. The whole thing should just have 6 arms/legs total and the legs should have the rotors attached. What you have done is not much different than what I did by attaching my quadrotor to my radio controlled offroad car. Try doing some decent integration and make it only have 6 legs that are used as legs and the arms of the quadrotor. Then I would be impressed.
This is AMAZING! Hope in a few years it will be able to transform! >:D
