A vast majority of robots being created serve some sort of utilitarian purpose like feeding the dog or cleaning the house, but the 'Xpider' is a mini robot that's dedicated towards something different. Created as a toy that can be played with whenever the mood strikes, the 'Xpider' is a 3D-printed device that is easy to program, customize and upgrade, as desired.
Robots are rarely described as cute, but the 'Xpider' looks to change this with a miniature design that makes it look like a cute little arachnid crawling around under your real-time command or programmed desires.
Created by Roboeve, the 'Xpider' is being funded on Indiegogo where the mini robot can be purchased for the low early bird price of just $99.
