Description

We are developing a hexapod robot that will be able to be controlled with a controller, as well as navigate to a location autonomously. The robot will use an ultrasonic depth finder to navigate, powered by servos. We are using an Arduino as a microprossesor. This is an on-going project.

Details

We aim to have our hexapod be able to complete the following tasks:

- Walk on all 6 legs in an efficient way in any direction

- Navigate autonomously using an ultrasonic proximity sensor

- Successfully travel to a location specified with input

Components

12 × TG9Z Analog Micro Servo
1 × HC-SRO4 Ultrasonic Proximity Sensor
1 × Arduino Mega

Leg Developing #1

With two servos, we developed the first version of the code for our leg movement. This is a very basic first step, that focussed on the way we want to move our hexapod's legs.
