Nifty! I think I saw something like this described (in much less detail and in a simpler form) on some Discovery Channel show about space exploration or the like. The bot in that case looked more like a triangular or tetrahedral framework, but seemed similar to this. Glad to see work continues on such. It looked like a major step up from what we do now.

That's TET Walker. The two projects are unrelated, so far as I know. http://attic.gsfc.nasa.gov/ants/
