<b> by Anthony Falco</b>

A six-legged, tarantula-inspired robot</a> built by a Norwegian engineer is getting a lot of attention for its ability to climb challenging terrain – and for its creepiness. Kåre Halvorsen is an amateur robot maker who 3D-printed the MX-Phoenix</a> in his spare time in his garage. It’s remote-controlled, uses 18 motors and weighs around 11 pounds. The hexapod design allows the robot to keep moving when a leg becomes disabled. Halverson says the robot could be used in “search and rescue”</a> missions – or just for fun.
