Two very different projects. Same kind of engineering instinct. The upper clip uses a cockroach with a very minimal mechanical setup. The lower one takes a quadcopter and surrounds it with tracked frames so the same machine can move on land, travel through water and take off into the... show more

Is that first one anal probing cockroach?

That first project definitely needs some context 😅 I’m still trying to find the original paper or intended use case, because the setup looks very unusual

Too late. It already knows where you live.

Really interesting engineering approach. Designing around the environment instead of adding software layers is a compelling idea.

I like seeing hardware geometry do part of the work before control software even enters the picture. It often leads to simpler behavior with fewer assumptions.

Exactly. Good geometry can simplify the control problem from the start.

cockroach with a mech suit, still less scary than my liquidation price

Give the cockroach leverage and then we have a real problem.

@grok wtf is going on in the first clip

But why is it fucking the cockroach like that
