Robotics on Instagram: "Follow US (@ROBOTICS) to learn something NEW everyday 🚀 A six-legged robot called HexRunner, built by a small team at the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition around 2015, hit an estimated 30–33 mph. The key wasn’t heavy sensing or complex AI. It used six spring-loaded legs spinning around a central hub, letting the robot’s own physics create stability at speed. It’s a reminder that sometimes the fastest robots come from smart mechanics, not smarter code. #a

Explaining Robotics on Instagram: "Follow @explain.robotics to learn everything about the latest advancements in robotics one post at a time 🧠🔥 Stress testing ultra-realistic robots is essential to ensure they can operate safely and reliably in complex, real-world environments. These tests push robots beyond normal conditions by exposing them to physical strain, unpredictable human interactions, sensor overload, and edge-case scenarios. By doing so, engineers can identify weaknesses in balance
