A British engineer whose walking hexapod robot was certified as the world’s largest by Guinness World Records said he was inspired by Star Wars.
Guinness World Records said the robot built by Matt Denton of Hampshire, England, is officially the world’s largest rideable hexapod robot — a walking robot with six legs.
Denton’s robot, which measures 9 feet, 2 inches by 16 feet, 6 inches, is named Mantis.
