Description
Summary:The technology for building legged robot can be useful for human in investigation and exploration expedition to reduce any risk factor. Hence this project is concerned about the design and construction of a six legged walking robot that can move omnidirectionally. The use of legged hexapod robot has been gaining popularity among the robot inventor. Omni-directional means that it can move sideways, forwards, backwards, diagonally and rotation in uneven environment. The project involves of designing and fabrication of the robot's hardware and control circuitry. The design consists of a three Degrees of Freedom for each leg. These robots have 3 pairs of leg consist of 18 servos. The robot is controlled by a PIC16F877A microcontroller which acts as the brain of the robot.
