The YouTube video below has this info provided.
_________________________________________
After four years intensive R&D, inspiration, design and build, Micromagic Systems is proud to unveil Mantis -- the biggest, all-terrain operational hexapod robot in the world.
This 2.2-litre Turbo Diesel-powered, British-designed and -built walking machine can be piloted or remote WiFi-controlled, stands 2.8 metres high with a five meter working envelope and weighing in at just under two tonnes.
________________________________________
The info doesn't mention that Matt Denton made this amazing machine at his own expense, all by himself . . . in his garage!
One word for this: awesome.
