Title: hexapod robot lawnmower

Not exactly practical, but still neat.

It also offers a method of ultrasonic telemetry for positioning, but doesn't quantify accuracy . . .

True, not very practical as a lawn mower.

But still wicked cool!  :D I wonder what other tasks a hexapod robot could be better applied to? Robot pets are always good, but kind of leisure. In any event, it sure looks cool.

The video makes me laugh too. :P

I wonder if its possible to apply a similar technique with the radio frequency localization to an indoor robot. Hmm...now I've got the wheels in my head going.....
