The Japanese roboticist behind Vagabond Works debuted video of his Land Crawler eXtreme in action, a 12-legged mobile platform that can transport up to 175 pounds. While the robot, designed at the request of its creator's son, isn’t going to give the Segway a run for its solo-transport money any time soon, its fluid propulsion is reminiscent of Theo Jansen’s organically-moving Strandbeests and looks eerily natural.
