Hexapod robot climbing
1,083 views since 2008-02-29
This is my autonomous hexapod robot that I built a few years ago. It uses 12 R/C servos for actuators. The 6 that raise and lower the legs are Hobbico CS-72 1/4 scale and the 6 that move the legs forward and backward are several brands of standard 1/10 scale servos (all are similar the Futaba S3003). The total robot weight is a little over 5lbs and the payload capacity is around 5lbs additional. The vertical travel of the legs is 1 7/8". Overall length and width is 13" X 11". When crouching, it's 5.5" tall. When standing up there is 3.5" of ground clearance under the body. The robot uses a tripod gate for walking. The control system modifies the basic tripod gate based on sensor input so that it can climb over obstacles in it's way.
