Dennis Hong - Ingenious Work, Robots and Fun Dennis Hong is an expert in the area of novel robot locomotion mechanisms, design and analysis of mechanical systems, kinematics and robot mechanism design, humanoid robots, and autonomous systems. He is the inventor of the three-legged walking robot STriDER. He was awarded the prestigious Faculty Early Career Development award from the National Science Foundation in 2007. About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations) Less

Feb 5, 2010 - Honestly, I'm more impressed with what the speaker was saying at the end of the presentation. His enthusiasm and non-stopping intelligence made me clap my hands... How often do you clap your hands when you are alone?

Feb 3, 2010 - This is absolutely amazing! These designs are fantastic, and ingeniously implemented. This portends an exciting future for robotics. It'll be an honor to be crushed by such elegant machines. ;-) Oh, and the tall tripod really is the spitting image of the HL2 Strider (at least when stationary). :-)

Jan 28, 2010 - You will never understand for what is really useful the mechanism of tripod... because the idea to use it in robotics was mine..
luisbeck007 Says:
Jan 28, 2010 - It looks like an expert but the idea to use tripods in robotics was mine, and also the idea to make the Olympic Games for Humanoid Robots, now China took it... enjoy this:

Jan 28, 2010 - Hi. Aprox by the year 2020 a laptop will reach the human brain potential for processing data which means that there is a huge market waiting for hundreds of billions dollars to be sold or invested in humanoid robots and intelligent systems. It is the beginning of the bigger industry in human history. Search on Google luisbeck007 you will find the most complete humanoid robot list in the World, good information and interesting issues.
