![]() ![]() The designer Kevin Ochs builds the giant spider machine named Golem. If the object is too close to it, the plastic and metal spider moves away from it.Īs you can see in the video presentation, the bot has smooth movements and is capable of reacting at any action that comes from the user side. The vision system can detect the object as well as the distance to the object. Designed by David Henderson, the insect-like walking robot runs autonomously and can track any object colored in pink. This robot with computer vision is one of the most realistic hexapod robots that I have ever seen. ![]() The designer shows every step to build the robot including schemas, components, how to assemble the components, programming and how to calibrate each leg. If the movements of the robot are controlled via human inputs, the servo motors are controlled with an ATMega 1284 microcontroller. All six legs are working in a perfectly synchronous to walk in almost any direction, rotate or pitch the body. The robot is controlled wireless from a Universal Controller or via PC. This platform is engineered as a learning platform for a small team of kids to teach them the importance of programming and electronics.Īll the files and documentation is available for free, and several other hackers and makers take the advantage and build their own custom version of the hexapod. Stubby is the first robot hexapod presented in this post and is a six-leg platform designed by Wyatt Olson and a team of young engineers. ![]() The Stubby hexapod robot designed by Wyatt Olson You’ll find tutorials and guides on working with servo motors, Arduino or other controllers, creating parts, working with sensors and more. This post serves as a collection of useful hexapod projects in a wide variety of ways. Fortunately, there are plenty of useful tutorials and guides to help you with your own custom implementation. There are countless ways to use a six-leg robot. More than that, these projects are good teaching lessons to improve the skills of other hobbyists. The communities of makers all over the world come with tons of projects and platforms to enhance the experience of building things. For instance, in this case, are the exciting hexapod robots. In this area, anyone can build a variety of robots without worrying about becoming boring. ![]() Something more interesting than a simple robot on wheels. After getting some level of electronics and programming skills using different controllers, any maker decides to build something different. ![]()
