“…Similar trends are observed in other robot categories. In social robotics, for example, several digitally produced DIY social robots have been designed over the last years, such as Ono [10][11], Nelson [12], Romibo [13], SA³M [14], and AlphaBot [15]. Since these robots were designed for reproducibility, it is possible for therapists to make their own low-cost, adaptable robot without the need for an incredible amount of knowledge and skills.…”

Abstract-This paper describes the innovative design process and production of a novel scorpion-based hexapod robot. The robotic scorpion was designed to be as reproducible, modular and adaptable as possible, being produced strictly using digital production techniques and off-the-shelf parts. These production techniques ensure that the robot and all its components become easy to reproduce and adapt, making it possible for everybody to build their own hexapod robot or optimize the robot in future work. In addition to our digital production, some innovative, anatomy-based features were integrated in the robot to solve several problems related to other hexapods. The use of elastics in the legs, for example, solves the high energy consumption of the motors and gravitational separation caused by the heavy weight of the hexapod. Furthermore, the scorpion tail is actuated by one single servomotor, simulating antagonistic muscles with ropes. By integrating these nature-inspired solutions, in combination with digitally produced parts, we improve the performance of a previously designed hexapod.
