Killer Spider Tank Tachikoma
From the amazing robot god Tomotaka Takahashi at Robo Garage:
Tachikoma is from the anime series Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.
The creatures are inspired by jumping spiders but, in the series, are as large as cars and very intelligent. They can run, roll at high speed with wheels on their feet and jump.
The robot version is much smaller - lucky for us - at 40 cm long.
The robot Tachikoma have 19 degrees of freedom, run off lithium polymer batteries and as you can see from the videos (here and here) they seem very friendly.
