Abstract
The development of robots becomes popular among inventors nowadays. Almost of the robot built is mobile robot. However, there are many problem faced by the mobile robot. The main problem faced by the wheeled robot is the accessibility. Wheeled robots are actually suitable in at flat surface but their usage is almost impractical in rugged terrain. Furthermore the use of legged robot is become more popular and gaining popularity in industry. The technology for building walking robot is can be implemented to build the assistance for handicapped, exploration to mars and others. The project is concern about the design and construction of six legged walking robot.
This six legged robot is actually different in term of its movement because it based on the spider movement. This robot is expecting to move forward and tilt to right on the flat surface with six legged. The project involving the hardware design and circuitry design. The actuators of the robot consist of three Tower Pro servo motor. The two servo motor has the same degree of freedom while the other one is actually actuated to shift the central gravity of the robot for balancing purpose when walking.
The robot is controlled by Picaxe 20m2 microcontroller which acts as the brain of the robot. The Picaxe 20m2 implement the programmed walking gaits of the robot. The robot walking gaits is programmed in Bas language and loaded into the microcontroller using software tools like Picaxe Programming Editor. The main material of the robot is Perspex because of its strength, flexibility and even light. The power supply of the robot is supplied via cable from power supply. The reason is the six leg waking robot needs high current to actuate.
