Hexapod Robot Using Arduino
Abstract
The main purpose of this work was to design a prototype of an autonomous hexapod robot. This project reports on an initial phase, where the basic geometry of the system was specified and improved through a kinematics and dynamic study. Six-legged locomotion is a simple, robust system of walking that is very popular both in the animal kingdom and among robotics hobbyists. Robot hexapods range from simple one-motor toys to advanced platforms with 18 or more servos. In this project we build a very simple autonomous hexapod robot using just three servos. The 2"-high hexapod is capable of walking. The brain of the hexapod is the arduino Atmega328 microcontroller.
