Subject: [alt-beam] MIT 6 legged walker.

I recall in a magazine (popular mechanics or popular scientist) there was a
robot made by MIT or NASA that had I think 6 legs and an advanced AI
program. The robot would teach itself to walk, and each leg had a seperate
processor. I think it was called Atilla or something like that, anyone
remember the name or the site I could find more information on this robot?
I've spent the last day wading through web sites trying to find it.

Thanks!.
