Star Wars Inspired Robots!

Dennis Hong, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Virginia Tech discusses new robots that he has been working on in his lab.  These bots range from humanoid looking machines, to others that look like something out of a sci-fi film.  Which is exactly where Hong gets some of his inspiration from.  Watch this short video to discover how watching Star Wars as a child influenced Hong to create these amazing robots.  From bots that climb, and even play soccer, this is definitely worth a watch.
