Arduino Powered Hexapod/Spider 18 DOF Robot

By Samidha Verma

We have all imagined about human robots either through movies or through exploration, what about a dinosaur robot or a spider robot. We are heading towards the making of a six legged robot using an Arduino Uno and servos in a more economical way by building it instead of buying several expensive kits.  

Descriptions:

– This Hexapod Robot, which can be made by yourself has a natural looking. – Its articulate leg and body design enhances the perfection of DIY robot.

– This robot can walk in any direction with the help of three DOF (degree of freedom) leg design

– It has not only perfect looks but is best in performance and also commercially available.

-32 servo controller and remote control handle is used.

– Material:. Alumnium alooy blasting processed. 

Features

The Robot is a complex walker in nature and is available for Wireless Wifi / Bluetooth / RF control using the USB SSC-32 Servo Motors Controller. 

18x TowerPro MG995/MG996R/LD1501MG Servo 

12x Aluminum Multi-Purpose Servo Bracket 

6x Large Aluminum hexapod robot legs 

6x Small Aluminum hexapod robot legs 

2x Hexapod robot main mounting plate 

1 Set Hexapod Accessories 

Dimension: 

When it comes to dimension, its single leg straight about 23cm, torso shell length 17.5cm and width of 15.5cm. Further, each robot leg has three joints which can be moved forward and backward and can be tuned to turn, dance and climb. It can also perform other kinds of actions. The kit available for parts are easy to install and learn robotics. Their purchase and installation drawings can be sent as an exclusive learning materials.

Package 

1 set of 6-foot robot full-metal stents accessories 

(Including 18 the metal rudder disk) 

MG995/MG996R/LD-1501MG servos x18

32 Servo Controller x1 

A high-quality USB cable x1 

A high-power chip buck x1 

A balance charger x1 

A high-power rocker switch x1 

Cable ties x1 

Copper Cylinder x1

About Control Systems

 The 32 servo controller board can move simultaneously. The robot has only 18 servo, which allows customers to choose 18 interface. Specific function control panel are elaborated below.       

. Internal control board have all the underlying code that helps customers to avoid writing C code. 

. The three most important features of the servo control board is the online debugging, offline campaign and PS2 remote control handle facilities

. Offline campaign in a Good PC software action after tune provides “Download” button to download the dashboard.

. The PS2 handle remote control, it means that If the PC software has compiled a good number of the action group that is sequentially downloaded to the control panel inside the handle above the key corresponding to the download of independent action groups

. The control panel reserved communications and other microcontroller TTL level serial communications can send commands to the control panel by another microcontroller. This will help achieve six legged robot more intelligent movement

 . The control board and switch can be directly fixed to the robot housing.
