Hexosapien is a new type of Humanoid Robot (patent pending) being developed by SOC Robotics and researchers at Simon Fraser University.   Hexosapien uses Stuart Platform hexapods for most of it's joints providing a range of motion that closely duplicates human motion.   Hexosapien consists of 10 hexapods and 6 rotary actuators for a total of 68 linear actuators.  Watch Hexosapien in action.

Hexosapien is based on WeArable Lower Limb Anthropomorphic Exoskeleton (WALLAE) technology being developed as part of an Assistive Walking Technology project supported in part by funding from an NSERC CRD grant.
