The digitally produced hexapod scorpion in action...
Laser cut structure and circuits (Arduino) of the scorpion hexapod.
Elastics in the legs of the hexapod ensure that it can carry its own weight. This solution was based on the antagonistic muscles in a human arm.

Design of a Scorpion Hexapod through Digital Production
4 Industrial Design
Design of an interactive and nature-based scorpion hexapod, created strictly using digital production techniques (3D printing - Laser cutting - CNC milling) and thermo-forming. Programmed with Arduino and a GUI (created by team member Pieterjan Deconicnk), the scorpion can function both autonomous and remote controlled. Sensors in the shell, legs and claws of the robot ensure the necessary input for an autonomous behavior.
The robot was described in many articles and submitted for the CLAWAR conference. It was even discussed in a television show "Discovery Canada - Daily Planet" (4/3/2016)
