Arduino hexapod robot, first test

[GeorgeBenettM1]

i'm sorry but he turn only to right?

[ahamedBacar]

hey do we can have the code source of your project ?

[TheRobotgeek123]

hmm robot d.j??

[TheRobotgeek123]

good music!! :)

[kyCap222]

i love the way it looks around as if to decide wich way it wants to go the there it gos

[AntsanParcher]

I like its rhythm

[SummerGameProject]

Amazing! How did you make the legs if I may ask? By the way, great job! I plan on learning Arduino and building a robot just like this very soon!

@SummerGameProject

The legs were built from various Lynxmotion parts, this is a 2DOF design so each leg uses 1 multi-purpose bracket, 1 "C" bracket, 1 offset bracket, 1 tubing connector hub, 1 tubing, and 1 tubing rubber end cap. Additionally, 2DOF requires 2 servo motors. It's important to choose a motor with high torque or else it cannot support the robot's weight.

Lynxmotion parts are expensive, I got them from robotshop.ca but if you have the resources you can make your own. Good luck!

Lol that's kinda cute. Good work

[krustikov1]

thats definately one of the better hexapod gaits i've seen

[cyrixproductions]

duh duh tshhhh, duh duh tshhh :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[sonzy93]

really nice

[cyrixproductions]

damn!

[gig603]

Nice! Where do you lean how to do all of this? I am very interested in this kind of stuff and I don't know where to begin. Is there any kits i could get and some kind of book? Thanks!

[skierplaterandy]

@gig603

google "200 in 1 kit" that is where i started, and i moved to more advanced stuff later.

[alphaman1101]

oh wow. just when i though it was game over, it went foward and corrected itself. NICE

[iatneH]

Actually, it was game over, I just stopped the video so you wouldn't see, but the bot was pretty much stuck in that dead-end alley..!

[Ryuuken24]

I this idea, I've been trying to work on, but have too much to do, it's really simple if you already know how to program a robot, you need to make the robot map an area, like a memory bank of 64X64, it's sort of like making a map and storing it, but the robot needs to matrix the area, think of it as a signal distance measure, to do so it needs an stand alone EEPROM, just to make it easier on the read and write, less CPU processing too. It's real simple, I just don't have a robot.Have a nice day.

[TheYurry]

uyou can always make it easier just to measure distance with the "head", and if it is more than 30cm (10inch) move that direction, and go until the distance in front is less than 5cm (2inch) or so no matrixing... and im not shure if arduino can handle that

[iatneH]

I have not worked on the robot at all since I filmed this video... I was thinking of doing something like the map making, but I also do not have any accurate way of measuring odometric data, and scene reconstruction with a single sonar with such a wide beam will be tricky... maybe if I had infinite time ;)

[Flea5000000000]

holy fuck

[zeldaocarinaoftime2]

Call it metal gear walker

[ActiveResonance]

Really great work, i'm working on a similar project myself. The SRF-05 is a great sensor they are a bit buggy sometimes and not very good at steep angles!

[Noodle930]

Is there any chance I could see the code? or could you at least tell me how you program the gait? (Which I may add is mighty fine.) Do you use a for statement or do you just say the positions outright.

Thanks.

[Noodle930]

And what power source do you use?

[emcownzu]

Can you attack it's weak spot for massive damage?

[haloflooder]

give it wheels-It'll go fastur!!! I don't like slow stuff
