The Star Wars-inspired Ringbot has received a major upgrade and is now called Ringbot Quad. Developed by Professor Joohyung Kim and his team at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the new version features four legs instead of two. Rather than using a traditional drivetrain, it moves with four independent driving modules, each connected to a leg.
