We've seen quite a few robots imitating nature — mostly made by scientists in university labs — but what if you could build your own and control it with your smartphone?
STEMI — a play on the acronym STEM, meaning Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics — is an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign for a hexapod robot that moves like to a spider. Unlike many other commercial robots, however, this one comes in a kit, together with a set of multimedia lessons that helps you assemble it into a working robot

You control it with a smartphone app that uses the built-in gyroscopic sensor, letting you control the robot's movement by tilting the phone Read more...
