http://www.linuxfordevices.com – The Chinese Academy of Sciences demonstrated a quadruped robot intended to test gait control and locomotion -- and eventually mimic the movement of a triceratops. The flexibly jointed, 3.1-foot FROG-I robot runs Linux on an Intel Xscale PXA270 processor, communicating via Wi-Fi with a host computer, while lower-level functions are controlled by two Texas Instruments DSPs....

If you have read the article about 8 awesome things created with Raspberry Pi, I believe you will love the spider robot, Charlotte. But today, I stumbled upon a very cool video on Youtube about another robot, Mantis. Compared to Charlotte, Mantis is way bigger, taller and can do more awesome things.

Cuteness aside, the hexapod bot has gotten some attention from high places. Two days after Bunting, a University of Arizona electrical-engineering senior, posted a YouTube video of his bot, Intel ordered two of them to promote its Atom processors at trade shows and engineering meetings.
