This video is a blatant example of having too many high-end toys but we love it anyway. [Robert Stephenson] is controlling a rather awesome-looking hexapod via a Bluetooth connection to his HTC Hero. The app allows on-screen selections to decide which portion of the robot will move as a result of accelerometer data from the handheld. The only thing we saw that was missing is a camera feed to the phone.
But this hack doesn’t stop there. The Hero can be used to host a WiFi network while still connected to the hexapod. The second half of the video shows an iPod Touch connecting via WiFi and controlling the bot. Now head on over to the laser cutter to start that hexapod build, and finish up by getting elbow-deep into some Android development.

Hahahhahahahahhahha totaaly agree with you M4CGYV3R
Does Osama do requests?
I would have stopped watching this video out of boredom if it wasn’t for the amazing acoustic version of Enter Sandman. That had to be the most bad ass version of it ever done on orchestra instruments.
@Artren
I was the same way but please get the song title right. It’s One by Metallica.
@Arten
That’s not Enter Sandman, it’s One. I thought that it may be Apocalyptica playing it, but I can’t confirm right now.

The video was interesting, but… It isnt anything that we have not already seen.
Have to admit that the motion of the Hexapod is very smooth.
Nicely done!
Is it just me or does it look like a Replicator….
