This is one of the most elegant pieces of engineering I've ever seen!
Reminded me a lot of Star Wars droids, especially Droïdekas when it rolls!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked my project!
Zenta I was in your website(Blog)... And don't see more about this awesome projects... I really need see more about it... is the most epic thing i ever seen! (Sorry for my bad english). Congratulations!
@@ZentaRobotics googles gemini ai brought me here in talking about the exact same thing.. lmao
put a turret on it and you have a terrifying military project
also. what is the high frequency noise in the background?
That's some half-life/portal stuff right here.
@Swan Crossing ruclips.net/video/JtMiofUCQhA/видео.html
Well they do take place in the same universe
Its fake
@@fadimuhammad so are portal and half life
@@heyitsfp sick editing btw
he's shaped like a friend
Thingum Bob his name implies he has no true shape
@@memedude8303 all of his shapes are friend shapes
Yes it true
you should see the one with the turret voice
@@reefy5316 i see it ok?
Now just make golf ball sized ones and program them to find the hole when they're too far off.
GOOD IDEA
That is the best idea for one of these robots. EVER. Like seriously, give those to people who aren't perfect and they'll love it!
So basically, practice golf balls
It's moves so smoothly it almost looks like it is alive
You think its not?
I wish this was available to buy. It’s one of the cleverest designs for a mobile robot. It’s also elegant looking.
Same
I think the future of robotics looks incredible.
The persons who disliked probably don't realize how incredible this thing is
It's a crab droid!
Soos
@@Sparble сурс ?
Saas
Yes. But I think it's spider
its a ball droid
Man ... that´s like seeing 30 years over the future, keep up with that good work, you are simply awesome
That high pitched whining sound will be the advent of our destruction.
Trypsykh I'd buy it to scare neighbors
oh god terminator aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa terminator aaaaaaaa holy shitttttttttttttt aaaaaaaaaaa terminator
the end is comming aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa oh mannnn aaaaaa end is coming aaa
I can easily imagine this design on missions to Mars and the Moon. Awesome stuff.
i love how each of your creations has slowly evovled over time. You can see how ideas have passed on from each "generation" to the next.
This is amazing work and I can totally see this rolling around the surface of Mars. Especially if the "petals" were solar panels. If you added a small camera that revolved around the "equator" at the same speed that it rolled, the robot would be able to see where it is going.
+Chris Wilkinson would need solar panels capable of withstanding a lot of abrasion though
Finally a way to make soccer truly popular in the United States.
FOOTBAAAALLLL!
All that’s left is to add a a gun that extends out
Not long til someone sticks some guns on it and ships it off to fight the Jedi.
Don't forget shield gens and up sizing

Reminds me of the big robot in Incredibles that rolls into a ball.
0:14 wow, it teleports. That's what I call advanced
I know that what's being showcased here is the mobility, but all I can think of are ways to hide weapons in it.
The top half should contain a quadcopter
+drgutai1 do you mean like a heli pad basically cause that would be awesome
Probably the most awesome little guy I've ever seen.
such a cute little guy! I cant imagine all the work that went into creating something like that
I am a 3d animator, which is a discipline of art, and one of the 12 principles of animation we must learn is... (this is real) ...Charm.
I see other robots doing impressive feats, but the robots themselves lack Charm. The Hexapod on the other hand is almost nothing but charm.
It's as gorgeous as it is technically impressive, and the fact that it has lots of charm makes me believe that (if pursued) it will go further as a commercial product than many other more advanced robots. How the hexapod can include more advanced features for usability is an interesting topic. It would be nice to give it a face for it to communicate, much like the robot in the movie "Ron’s Gone Wrong". Apart from being absolutely adorable, what can a future version of this robot be used for?
the controlled rolling is very very impressive
Wahnsinn was Sie da auf die Beine gestellt haben ein Hammer Roboter! Respekt
Truly amazing! Thanks for sharing it with those of us who could NEVER come up with something like this on our own AND inspiring those who will build upon your ideas.
I love the way it switches back to walking mode after spending some time as a ball. Never mind DARPA, a future generation of extraterrestrial exploration robots could well get around that way.
i was impressed before i saw it roll around on flat ground.
genius!
I know its ten years but this is one of the most beaeutiful things i've ever seen!
This is by far the coolest robot that somebody built by himself! I am truly impressed!
Zenta, if you are listening seven years later, this showed up on my youtube home.... I'm madly enthralled with all things robotic after 20 years in standard run of the mill IT (yawn) and as such, have been learning all I can about the field while feeling my way around in where I'd like to specialize. The MorpHex, amazing, simply amazing. Now I havae to find out, what you've been up to these last seven years. As below stated by Fracois Provost, lol, That's some serious half-life/portal stuff right there. I stand, in awe.
Wow. This robot could be a bliss in disaster-areas. I can see this little bugger climb through the rubble of a huge building looking for survivors. So cool, and multi-mobility. Great work!
THIS IS NOT THE DROID YOUR LOOKING FOR!
Your robots are awesome. Source for inspiration.
Thanks for showing us.
Jokes aside this is the best idea for a robot, it can always get up no matter its position. Also has good mobility
Wow, that must've been hell to program all of those servo movments and walk cycles
I absolutely love the fact it realizes what it needs to do to accomplish proper movement, unless it is controlled and not using some form of ai or programming as I have been led to believe. Voltorb for the end of the world!
That's probably one of the coolest things I've seen.
This would be perfect for if they ever make portal 3
1:08 I was hoping it was gonna do that! It looked so satisfying!
Also its strong!
Should consider covering the outer shell with a rubber latex coat so it won't make that scratchy sound while its rolling around. Very cool design.
Dude this is legendary.
Image this but way bigger and made of metal. Rolling over your enimies and stuff
You cant imagine how much I love this little sphere guy :333
About the technical: Excellent and very imaginative engineering and handcraft, full of so many innovative ideas ! Sir, you have my deepest congratulations and respect !
About the video: It was such a good idea to include the kid in the video. Not only it gives us a sense of scale, but also it reminds us that this ..."thing" was made by a human, and not sent to us by a nasty alien !
Congratulations one more time, your work is really impressive.
I feel this has more of a therapy type role rather than military, I can't imagine kids not loving it, the way it can fold up into a sphere is rather cute, I can't imagine why this hasn't been picked up for a toy really...
+Joseph Neilson If you had a clue as to the manufacturing and parts cost on this, you would.. Ask the guy how much he has into it.. Unless you mean adult toys, then yeah $2000 (if not more) could be doable for a "toy".
Amazing. Imagine if these things were common place. That could have a camera on it, and act as a mobile security device, or (assuming someone manages it) it could have a hologram projector, and could act as a moving displace piece...
Or it could have a bomb.
What a mesmerizing robot soldier when it becomes autonomous and sentient.
This robot is so adorable!
Nicely done!
By the way, I am praying on the day we get quieter servos.
If this were the Mars rover it'd never get stuck anywhere. Very cool!!
If this is not already open-sourced, I'm making it open-source. I've been trying to construct a spherical hexapod similar to this for a few months, as part of a hobby project. This variation appears to solve some of the remaining issues I have with mine, so it is heaven-sent for reverse engineering. But I don't honestly believe Zenta would close-source his, as the actual design is quite intuitive and would be brilliant as a DIY kit for students. I'll keep you posted when I finish the prototype.
The best cereal bowl ever! Includes a Peeeeeeep to know when it s time to breakfast. Awesome.
this needs a film
I am absolutely in love with it, but it also looks like a science fiction war machine, and when it blooms, it looks like it's preparing to fire a giant laser
It could be used for wars because that sound could be a high pitch sonar for movement and as a weapon that could either drive your enemies to insanity or literally make their head explode
Veldig stilig! Ser virkelig ut som noe fra en annen verden.
that robot look like having fun rolling
This in a really large scale, with a gyro(ball?)-like interior for passengers would be insane!
I like the way it walks.
rad. looks like a thing from star wars or portal or something, my god this is amazing
Finally uploaded something new...
Still looks great.
This little guy needs a movie!
Please upload a video explaining how it works, how you made it. This is insanely cool!!
My dog would go nuts for a ball like that.
Looks more like a POKEMON.
Kabuto
It will freak me out if it came near me
Military applications. Special operations, etc... Cool bot.
Check the servo's control frequency, that could solve the problem of the noise.
"We have them on the run, sir… They're no match for droidekas."
Very cool tech, and so compact.
it would be awesome if this project become an opensource
Very nice Zenta, as always..!
It looks like an alien from a sci-fi movie! And to make a robot that looks like a living alien from a sci-fi movie is a big achievement. Damn good job, I wouldn't be surprised if you see some black helicopters land in your backyard.
Finally! They're building Droidekas, I've been waiting for this!
Your robot: "Humanity, you just wait until I get my forcefield working."
I, for one, think this robot is really cute
Everybody gangsta till the morphex start rollin
I would totally play a video game where you control this little dude and manipulate him to move through mazes and such. I would also just like to do that exact kind of thing in real life.
That dynamic + freaky
It's the freaking robot from the movie the Incredibles!!!!!
What an amazing piece of design! It kind of looks like an iPhone would, if an iPhone was a hexapod robot. I'm not sure what I'd do with it, but I want one anyway. Actually, come to think of it, it's kind of like an iPhone that way too!
Funny how this becomes the inspiration for Gears of War 4 Trackers
Really amazing...the exploration can starts
insane !!! congratulations !!!!
Looks great as always!
That thing is wicked nice job.
You know eventually there are going to be giant weaponized versions of these patrolling everywhere. future is gonna be crazy
Draw a face on it and make it follow me around and I'll take a thousand o,o
This is oddly adorable, and amazing to watch.
What about rubberizing the plastic shell? It would give it more traction when rolling around as well reduce the plastic noise.
Paint it to look like a watermelon 2. Profit!!!
quick, get the kool-aid!
INVEST
It has lotos form... very nice.
Awesome! Very cute!
Next challenge: ascend a staircase.
Great! Minus the high pitched noise. Could definitely do without that.
Awesome project!
Absolutely brilliant!!!!
Coolest thing I've ever seen!
You got the morph ball!
"when I grow up, I want to be a scary as fuck spider tank robot!"
what will really make it cool if it can turn into a hexacopter and also go under water like a quid... i can maybe see that being the next generation of drone tech
Thinking about stuff. Your kids are teenagers now right? Have they got interested on robots too. You are one of the most impressive creators i have found on youtube. I hope the next generation picks up on those interests, they get the best possible start with being part of these videos and seeing your amazing projects.
I'm imagining your kid showing up to a school science project with a self built robot. That'd impress everyone. Specially now that geeks are cool with teenagers too.
