Bas van de Kleut You should save the 'tinfoil' comments for people who deserve it. He said 'one day', not "The government is using these in the battlefield today! They are crushing their enemies with these secret weapons derived from Aliens and reptiles!".
"Because this thing is totally fit for combat..." Use your imagination... The side panels would essentially be made of movable tank armor offering the ultimate protection, and there would be a weapon system that would stick out when needed and be hidden when not. It could come in different sizes, have different weapon systems and payloads, some could be used as suicide or kamikaze balls. Also, if I was paranoid, I'd be like "I hope they don't turn this into a killing machine" I'm just the opposite.
Hahah! The interaction with the girl was awesome. It almost looked like Morphex put up his shield and went into intimidation mode. Which apparently worked because his 'attacker' backed of. Lol.
Every year I see more and more videos like these with tiny advancements in robotics and they seem harmless but it's gonna be like a snowball effect. I'll look back on these days as I'm fighting Skynet under a mushroom cloud.
This pretty darn amazing! If they could scale the tech up so that it could contain a human passenger/operator within a gyroscopically-stabilised cockpit, it could prove to be an excellent all-terrain solution. I could even see potential here for each individual leg to incorporate an inflatable ballute system to allow it to tread water.
nah man make them smaller and cuter so they can replace pets and the pet industry will fall, china will have all the dogs for food, this is the only way to go
This is my favorite robot. I want to see it in a movie where they are launched in as spheres and then walk around. It would also make such an expressive puppet.
This is really impressive. Unfortunately, I could definitely see the military applications, so I hope you are an anti-war kinda person. On the more noble side, this would be a PERFECT platform for a planetary exploration lander, especially if you incorporated shock absorbers into it in such a way that it could basically be dropped from altitude without doing any harm to the internals. I hope NASA sees this, and if not, you should definitely get a hold of them. Nice work!
You definitely have my vote! The implications for this device are quite literally endless. I can envisage a device such as yours exploring other worlds... Fantastic! You have brought the future to us now...
Toy makers: Holy f*ck we're going to make a sh*t load of money. Army: I think we can tape a grenade to it. Oil companies: We need to kill the inventor. Republicans: This doesn't exist. John Connor: We're f*cked!
skynet: we dont exist so shut up about Morphex taking over. minecraft: HOW IS IT A SPHERE russia: we didnt want to get involved in this everyone: OMG SKYNET WILL TAKE OVER OH NO OH GOD
Breg Peschanyj The day when batteries can store big loads in minimal spaces, and the day after that; when robots are energy efficient enough to rely solely on sun and no human interference for maintenance, that day we're gonna have a lot of piew piew and chuw chuw and dadatatatdadatata ta! yet, I dont think we're gonna love that movie as we would be in it getting chew chw'ed and piew piew'ed.
So, if you mute this video and open another tab and play "Churn of the Century" by Bassnectar while watching this, it could not be more perfectly timed XD
I really love the design!, How you make it roll is genius! I could see your model being used in movies and perhaps in space. It makes perfect sense! awesome!! thanks for sharing... Keep up the inventing, we need more people (artists like yourself) to mold a better future.
DUUUUUUUDE, this is one of the coolest, most mindblowing things EVER! Those futuristic mecha walking tank things we see in many a sci-fi concept aren't too far away, huh?
That, is absolutely. The most fantastic robot I have ever seen. The MorpHex is hands down the coolest and most advanced looking robot I have ever seen. I was impressed when it was moving like a "Tachicoma. from Ghost in the Shell." but this is no one trick pony. I was continually astounded to the point of this 4 minute video seeming like a 20 minute tech demo of something you really are enjoying. Wow, theres your police camera taser flashbang rolly polly right there.
Very interesting. I was impressed by the various means of locomotion. When I saw it I couldn't help thinking of an alien biological form, especially when it was flaring at the child as if to bluff by making it's body seem larger. Given the sphere could roll downhill both intentionally and as a defensive maneuver against damage, It made me think that it might be an interesting probe design for space exploration although I think it would need to right itself better. Thanks for the video.
Can have quite a few applications, militarization of the machine seems fairly promising, enlarge it to tank size, mortar installed on the top, d30 filled, or bullet proof glass plating, minituarize it for something like a walking mine, or other explosive
I was just talking with one of the sales guys at Boca Bearings about the contest and your robot. He mentioned that the prize was a 3D printer from Makerbot. Coincidentally, I was ordering parts for the "3in1 Extruder Upgrade" for the Makerbot. It might be of interest to you now that you own one. Good job on your robot designs!
Add two web cams at each pole and you really got something. How does it compare to the snake bots and the spider bots in terms of complexity and power consumption? Desert environment come to mind, allow it to roll via wind power. How sensitive to dust and grit? Pipes come to mind too. Liquid resistance?
Watching the toddler play with it got me thinking.... Think how that would look if you intermittently colored the segments. Like a beach ball! That'd be fun.
What a cool and cute design! What inspired this? Looking at the comments, it looks like I'm not the only one who was reminded of the Droidekas from Star Wars.
Crickey, not only is this awesome but with some adaption it could be pretty dam useful to if you could fit foldable tools under the covering. It's just plain cool though all by itself which seems reason enough for it to exist. Kudos.
Tetra-Dittos! Positively Unique! Endlessly Fascinating! With all of the future possibilities for exploration and teaching through science and technology - I am constantly shocked when others first thoughts are to wage war. President Ronald Ray-Guns said; If people were faced annihilation from another world - Earth's people would rise up and unite.
It'd be cool if you could build it to bounce into and out of a hole (ex. it fell into a crevasse while exploring). Right now, I see some very interesting all terrain potential, but being able to bounce would help a lot.
Wow!!! Are your "projects" on the market as products yet? As a kit maybe? I would love to build one of these and tinker with it getting the legs calibrated, finding the correct firmware to get it walking and moving. All the best!
Now this is pretty awesome. I imagine that if it could move more quickly in any direction, kick itself upright and over low things, and get up to 10+ mph with a gallop/roll, this little machine would be perfect. At that point I'd gladly pay whatever the price tag was to own one as a toy.
Hmm, there is potential military application. The outer shell could serve as armor. There could also be versions of it built to be tossed to be used for recon or a mobile explosive device. How much did the materials and stuff cost for it?
Maybe use a gyroscope to roll instead of the legs. That way it can roll while fully closed. And if you used waterproofing on the joints it could float maybe and go over water using fins that could push out through the plastic. It could be all-terrain
This is some Aperture Science shit right here.
all it needs now is the turret voice
Bossanator8123 The Amazing Retrobloxian it is the turret voice.
v=JtMiofUCQhA
Somebody already did it with the turret voice and oh my god it is adorable as hell
This was a triumph!
I'm making a note here:
"huge success!!"
It's hard to overstate
My satisfaction.
Aperture science:
We do what me must
Because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.
But there's no sense crying
Over every mistake.
You just keep on trying
Till you run out of cake.
And the science gets done.
And you make a neat gun
For the people who are
Still alive.
I'm not even angry...
I'm being so sincere right now-
Even though you broke my heart,
And killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you!
Now, these points of data
Make a beautiful line.
And we're out of beta.
We're releasing on time!
So i'm glad i got burned-
Think of all the things we learned-
For the people who are
Still alive.
Go ahead and leave me...
I think i'd prefer to stay inside...
Maybe you'll find someone else
To help you?
Maybe black mesa?
That was a joke! haha!! fat chance!!
Anyway this cake is great!
It's so delicious and moist!
Look at me: still talking
When there's science to do!
When i look out there,
It makes me glad i love you.
I've experiments to run.
There is research to be done.
On the people who are
Still alive.
And believe me i am
Still alive.
I'm doing science and i'm
Still alive.
I feel fantastic and i'm
Still alive.
While you're dying i'll be
Still alive.
And when you're dead i will be
Still alive.
Still alive.
Still alive.
Someone gave them one
are you still there?
hello?
resting
Is it strange that I find it adorable?
You won't be saying that when it eats the Roomba.
+Red Arcana Nope, the thing is Adorable.
their is a video with the turret noises from portal
No I think the same it is sooooo cute
nope.
Someone uploaded a version with "Portal" turret sounds. It's too adorable. I want one.

What if you hurried up too much and the robot rolled too much and crashed into a mini store and blamed it on you?
A large one of these will be on a battlefield one day.
much earlier on mars
Because this thing is totally fit for combat...
Fucking tinfoilhats have to ruin everything with their paranoid bullshit.
Bas van de Kleut
You should save the 'tinfoil' comments for people who deserve it. He said 'one day', not "The government is using these in the battlefield today! They are crushing their enemies with these secret weapons derived from Aliens and reptiles!".
I wish i could get inside it. Think about it, a giant manned version :D Not some remote controlled bullshit ;D
"Because this thing is totally fit for combat..." Use your imagination...

The first thing I thought of of droidekas from Star Wars.
This thing is sweet.
The 1st thing is the portal turret
Hahah! The interaction with the girl was awesome. It almost looked like Morphex put up his shield and went into intimidation mode. Which apparently worked because his 'attacker' backed of. Lol.

No, because Skynet in reality wouldn't be dumb enough to deploy something as obtuse as nukes. :P It'd just grey goo us all.
Kevin Jones Not only that, but if one of those nukes detonated in the upper atmosphere, it could cause an EMP. That would have to be a very dumb AI.
here to remind you about how right you were
you were right @@jesseteixeira6284
THAT IS AMAZING. It's amazingly well done too and you've done almost every little detail. Loving the ball function.
what we think
us:wow this is so awesome i wonder what amazing things we can do with this
America: can we weaponize it?
I can think of it being weaponized even without being an american!
Pakkaslordi like a camera!
More than true
I first thought of rescue operation and surveillance.
Actually, I'm thinking if it talked like the turrets from Portal it'd be perfect and I'd gladly sell my kidney to buy one.
Dear santa get your butt over here with this robot in your hands !
This pretty darn amazing! If they could scale the tech up so that it could contain a human passenger/operator within a gyroscopically-stabilised cockpit, it could prove to be an excellent all-terrain solution. I could even see potential here for each individual leg to incorporate an inflatable ballute system to allow it to tread water.
i want the spider mech now
nah man make them smaller and cuter so they can replace pets and the pet industry will fall, china will have all the dogs for food, this is the only way to go
America be like:
“It’s adorable! Let’s give it a gun.”
Give it a knife
How about 2 guns?
Probably could be a military weapon lol
Let's be realistic, this is a mine deployment device waiting for the DOD to write this guy a check
lets build 2 miniguns in it
This is my favorite robot. I want to see it in a movie where they are launched in as spheres and then walk around. It would also make such an expressive puppet.
Now make larger versions of these, armour it up and begin mass production of giant rolling robots to crash through buildings.
make a large version, armor it, and attatch a gun to the top.
Why not just make it like the turrets from Portal?
@@doggy_ebooks you meant take the plates of and replace them with a wall of guns
@@sorenmine7765 I prefer "THROW A GIANT BOULDER AT THEM!"
yes and make them big as your mom so they can be real heavy and smart as your dad so they don't fall over EVER
This is PHENOMENAL! The way it moves and corresponds with it's movements, it's mobility and look. Amazing.
Song : Hang Ups (Want You) - Otis McDonald
Thanks dude
Thanks tord.
Thank you
GREAT DESIGN......From all of us from Indian Engineers..
Keep your thought process in the same pace alive, Healthy & Innovative
the applications for this robot are limitless. my applauds and best wishes to the creators! truly a piece of art!
Your project is excelent! Congratulations on your creativity!
samus? is that you?!
This has so much potencial. Wide range of direction, movement and recovery.
This is really impressive. Unfortunately, I could definitely see the military applications, so I hope you are an anti-war kinda person.

Reminds me of a cross between starwars sentry drone and some bugs.

that is one of the coolest things I have ever seen a hexapod do. Props, props.
Boo to music in the background, I want to hear those gears a-movin'!
is it bad that as an American I saw this and immediately thought of the military applications?
Stephen Woerner immediately, then yes I am afraid so
Yes, yes it is.
Don’t be ashamed. I thought of that as well. I even thought of small groups of these things accompanying giant 4-story tall tank-killing tripods.
This is spectacular... well done whoever created this magnificent machine.
Aperture science huh?
It is supposed to be bad, just look at it! Just replace plastic with armor and add some guns - and you get an unstoppable killing machine.
Sounds fucking awesome.
That's the problem using this for the evil
Breg Peschanyj The day when batteries can store big loads in minimal spaces, and the day after that; when robots are energy efficient enough to rely solely on sun and no human interference for maintenance, that day we're gonna have a lot of piew piew and chuw chuw and dadatatatdadatata ta! yet, I dont think we're gonna love that movie as we would be in it getting chew chw'ed and piew piew'ed.
So, the first thing you would want to do with this is weaponize it... not use it to solve a problem...
But that would violate the laws of robotics
The best robot like I seen in my life.
Perfect machin. Congratulations!!!
this thing is a bit like the droideka from star wars
WHERE CAN I GET IT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
It aint for sale xd
Wow now that is awesome robotics. I think this was the inspiration for the Half-Life and Portal tripods. Interesting concept and smart execution.
Put the voice of the Portal 2 turrets on it and then...
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

I've no words. This prototype is very special and i think it haz a lot of aplicattion in many technological domains. Really cool !
"Where are those Droidekas?!"
Now if USA weaponized it, we would end up with a real droideka :)
Every now and then you see something Speciall and SO beautifully made that it amases you!! BEAUTIFULL JOB WELDONE...:)
Make your money back, sell it to #disney 's prop department for use in #starwars.

All the time and creativity you put into this is amazing. No *REGRETS*. Either way this is awesome and creative. Really good job.

Brilliant!
It's as adorable as the turrets from Portal! Congrats on the win!
That is a genius ingeneer's masterpiece
What a great job!
Can have quite a few applications, militarization of the machine seems fairly promising, enlarge it to tank size, mortar installed on the top, d30 filled, or bullet proof glass plating, minituarize it for something like a walking mine, or other explosive
The movements that made it roll are great. Good thinking.
You could use that for rescue or remote viewing. Toss it into a place you can't get to and then use a remote control and a camera to roll around.
Congrats on the results of the Boca Bearings 2012 Innovation Competition!
This is a very cool concept, but why stop here?
Amazing, I think that toddler is trying to hand it the check you made from that thing. You have my vote
I was just talking with one of the sales guys at Boca Bearings about the contest and your robot. He mentioned that the prize was a 3D printer from Makerbot. Coincidentally, I was ordering parts for the "3in1 Extruder Upgrade" for the Makerbot. It might be of interest to you now that you own one. Good job on your robot designs!
So cool!!!!! I need like 10 of those!!!!! Imagine putting a small camera, or several, on it! Ultimate guard dog! Well, without the jaws and barking.
So beautiful. These guys have a mind for robotics, that's for sure.
Add two web cams at each pole and you really got something. How does it compare to the snake bots and the spider bots in terms of complexity and power consumption?
Desert environment come to mind, allow it to roll via wind power. How sensitive to dust and grit? Pipes come to mind too. Liquid resistance?
This is a beautiful machine, not just fascinating. Congratularions, I wish I was smart enough to study Robotics and do this sort of thing.
i was going to say you should make it be able to turn into a ball and shure enough it does, its amazing, i love how it walks
Watching the toddler play with it got me thinking....
Think how that would look if you intermittently colored the segments. Like a beach ball! That'd be fun.
What a cool and cute design! What inspired this? Looking at the comments, it looks like I'm not the only one who was reminded of the Droidekas from Star Wars.
I think it would be groundbreaking to have a team of 20 MorpHex and choreograph a dance for them.
Crickey, not only is this awesome but with some adaption it could be pretty dam useful to if you could fit foldable tools under the covering.
It's just plain cool though all by itself which seems reason enough for it to exist. Kudos.

Already exists for military applications! The movement in this one is more unique though.
make a giant one and its a death star that can land and move around killing everything.
Very nice, I can see how this could be used in a variety of situations in multiple environments.
That was a GREAT idea. That's the best one I've seen yet.
It moves pretty smoothly for 2012
Maybe use a gyroscope to roll instead of the legs. That way it can roll while fully closed. And if you used waterproofing on the joints it could float maybe and go over water using fins that could push out through the plastic. It could be all-terrain
only things missing is two repeating laser blaster and a shield generator. may the force be with you.
that thing is adorable and awesome! how is it controlled?
