MorpHex, the incredible hexapod robot !
Ғылым және технология
Outdoor video footage of MorpHex MKII. A hexapod robot that can walk on six legs and transform into a ball shape. It can also roll in all directions. Check out my blog, zentasrobots.com for more information about my MorpHex project.

This is one of the most elegant pieces of engineering I've ever seen! Reminded me a lot of Star Wars droids, especially Droïdekas when it rolls!

Now just make golf ball sized ones and program them to find the hole when they're too far off.

I can easily imagine this design on missions to Mars and the Moon. Awesome stuff.
Man ... that´s like seeing 30 years over the future, keep up with that good work, you are simply awesome

i love how each of your creations has slowly evovled over time. You can see how ideas have passed on from each "generation" to the next.
This is amazing work and I can totally see this rolling around the surface of Mars. Especially if the "petals" were solar panels. If you added a small camera that revolved around the "equator" at the same speed that it rolled, the robot would be able to see where it is going.

Reminds me of the big robot in Incredibles that rolls into a ball.
Probably the most awesome little guy I've ever seen.
I know that what's being showcased here is the mobility, but all I can think of are ways to hide weapons in it.
0:14 wow, it teleports. That's what I call advanced
such a cute little guy! I cant imagine all the work that went into creating something like that
THIS IS NOT THE DROID YOUR LOOKING FOR!
the controlled rolling is very very impressive
This is by far the coolest robot that somebody built by himself! I am truly impressed!
Truly amazing! Thanks for sharing it with those of us who could NEVER come up with something like this on our own AND inspiring those who will build upon your ideas.
Very nice Zenta, as always..!
i was impressed before i saw it roll around on flat ground. genius!
Your robots are awesome. Source for inspiration. Thanks for showing us.
Wahnsinn was Sie da auf die Beine gestellt haben ein Hammer Roboter! Respekt
I love the way it switches back to walking mode after spending some time as a ball. Never mind DARPA, a future generation of extraterrestrial exploration robots could well get around that way.
Looks great as always!
This robot is so adorable!
That's probably one of the coolest things I've seen.
Dude this is legendary.
This would be perfect for if they ever make portal 3
Wow. This robot could be a bliss in disaster-areas. I can see this little bugger climb through the rubble of a huge building looking for survivors. So cool, and multi-mobility. Great work!
Very cool tech, and so compact.
Awesome project!
Zenta, if you are listening seven years later, this showed up on my youtube home.... I'm madly enthralled with all things robotic after 20 years in standard run of the mill IT (yawn) and as such, have been learning all I can about the field while feeling my way around in where I'd like to specialize. The MorpHex, amazing, simply amazing. Now I havae to find out, what you've been up to these last seven years. As below stated by Fracois Provost, lol, That's some serious half-life/portal stuff right there. I stand, in awe.
You cant imagine how much I love this little sphere guy :333
That thing is wicked nice job.
Outstanding! Keep up the innovation!!
insane !!! congratulations !!!!
this needs a film
Wow, that must've been hell to program all of those servo movments and walk cycles
Wow, good work!
Finally uploaded something new... Still looks great.
Awesome Work...!!!
Please upload a video explaining how it works, how you made it. This is insanely cool!!
I like the way it walks.
Really amazing...the exploration can starts
Veldig stilig! Ser virkelig ut som noe fra en annen verden.
Nicely done! By the way, I am praying on the day we get quieter servos.
Absolutely brilliant!!!!
Amazing work!

I am a 3d animator, which is a discipline of art, and one of the 12 principles of animation we must learn is... (this is real) ...Charm. I see other robots doing impressive feats, but the robots themselves lack Charm. The Hexapod on the other hand is almost nothing but charm. It's as gorgeous as it is technically impressive, and the fact that it has lots of charm makes me believe that (if pursued) it will go further as a commercial product than many other more advanced robots. How the hexapod can include more advanced features for usability is an interesting topic. It would be nice to give it a face for it to communicate, much like the robot in the movie "Ron’s Gone Wrong". Apart from being absolutely adorable, what can a future version of this robot be used for?
Coolest thing I've ever seen!
That dynamic + freaky
1:08 I was hoping it was gonna do that! It looked so satisfying!

About the technical: Excellent and very imaginative engineering and handcraft, full of so many innovative ideas ! Sir, you have my deepest congratulations and respect ! About the video: It was such a good idea to include the kid in the video. Not only it gives us a sense of scale, but also it reminds us that this ..."thing" was made by a human, and not sent to us by a nasty alien ! Congratulations one more time, your work is really impressive.
Finally! They're building Droidekas, I've been waiting for this!
Wow!!!! Bravo :)))) Friggin' awesome!!
The best cereal bowl ever! Includes a Peeeeeeep to know when it s time to breakfast. Awesome.

Image this but way bigger and made of metal. Rolling over your enimies and stuff
Holy Shit. Man that is amazing work!
That is impressive. Awesome .
It has lotos form... very nice.
IT'S SO CUTE AND VERSATILE! :D
This is very creative
Very impressive.
Holy cow that's so cool
Excellent!
rad. looks like a thing from star wars or portal or something, my god this is amazing
YOU ARE SO GENIUS
You got the morph ball!
Should consider covering the outer shell with a rubber latex coat so it won't make that scratchy sound while its rolling around. Very cool design.
That is awesome! I want one!
beautiful
Pure art!
that robot look like having fun rolling
Jokes aside this is the best idea for a robot, it can always get up no matter its position. Also has good mobility
If this were the Mars rover it'd never get stuck anywhere. Very cool!!
This in a really large scale, with a gyro(ball?)-like interior for passengers would be insane!
So cool! Want one!
What a mesmerizing robot soldier when it becomes autonomous and sentient.
Military applications. Special operations, etc... Cool bot.
I just love it!
I absolutely love the fact it realizes what it needs to do to accomplish proper movement, unless it is controlled and not using some form of ai or programming as I have been led to believe. Voltorb for the end of the world!
It's beautiful
it would be awesome if this project become an opensource
Wow! You are a genius! What a great design! I say: sent it to Mars!
It's so cool...and kinda cute.
maginficent thinking, truly innovating design
That is all sorts of awesome
Increible, fantastico, genial!
Thats sick
