Rapid Prototyping of Dmitri, a Hexapod Robot

Dmitri is a hexapod robot designed to explore biologically influenced behaviors, manufactured using 3D printing. The use of 3D printing results in not only rapid turnaround time of the physical components, but helps to evaluate software or simulation. Biologically inspired robots may involve complex shapes to correctly mimic biology, and such designs are only economically feasible through the u...
