“The Mantis, a two-tonne turbo diesel-powered hexapod walking machine, brings together art and engineering, and will feature on Channel 4’s Gadget Man on 22 June. Matt, founder of Micro Magic Systems, has 20 years’ experience primarily within creature effects departments on sci-fi and fantasy films, such as the Harry Potter series and Prometheus. The inventor was inspired to create robots, in particular six-legged walking machines, having been a huge fan of sci-fi movies from a very early age. He honed his skills in electronics and computer software during his years of working in film and made his first small hexapod robot in 2001.”
