Halluc II – The next generation of robotic vehicles
Shunji Yamanaka (JP)
RoboLab
Open Days at the Ars Electronica Center, January 2 to 4, 2009

“Halluc II” is a high-tech prototype of a new generation of robots. A designer was brought on board the development team especially for this project. “Halluc II’s” amazing legs enable it to move in a variety of ways including rolling, crawling and walking. When overcoming an obstacle, the legs are raised or lowered to compensate for the uneven terrain. This keeps the vehicle steady.

Halluc II is making a guest appearance in the Ars Electronica Center January 2-25, 2009.
