Robotic Walking Chair

This chair costs €15K and puts it’s self in control of where you are sitting. It is a robotic walking chair which is built of steel tubes, plastic and is chrome plated. Built by designers Karl Emilio Pircher and Fidel Peugeot it makes for a crazy type of chair for your dining room table. Imagine having dinner with someone annoying and also having the ability to just push a button and have the chair take them away. Cool!

2 very cool walking machines

Here are videos of two very different walking machines. One shows what can be described as a Spider walking across a car park, while the other is a man riding a large mechanical tiger.

Huge amounts of time and money were invested in these projects, and I think it’s clear to see how spectacular they are! My personal favourite is the walking spider, in a straight line it can move pretty fast!! It would be quite a nice way to get to work, in a big mechanical spider.

Water walking Robot

A team over at Carnegie Mellon University are working on a robot that can walk on water. It will work in a similar way that a Basilisk does in that it can dash across water keeping afloat. A prototype is still being worked on although test simulations are showing positive. It makes you wonder if taking a trip from Dover to Calais in the future will be made in a robot which “dashes” across the water rather then on a boat or in the channel tunnel.
