Stompy, a giant six-legged robot, suitable for both fun rides and use in disaster zones, looks set to be built after it successfully hit its target on crowdfunding site Kickstarter.
The robot is the brainchild of a group of hackers and hobbyists based in Somerville, Massachusetts.
They have raised $65,000 (£41,000) with 18 days left for fund-raising.
If $300,000 is raised, the team say they will build a “zoo’s worth of rideable robots”.
