Description
Assembly and Test Video:
Arduino-Based 6-Legged Hexapod Spider Robot
This project features a 6-legged (hexapod) walking robot controlled by an Arduino Mega. Each leg has 3 degrees of freedom (18 servo motors total), enabling smooth and balanced movement using a tripod gait algorithm. The robot is remotely controlled using an NRF24L01 wireless module. With dual joysticks and potentiometers on the controller, users can adjust the robot's direction, walking speed, and body height.
This project is still under development. Software development work is ongoing.
You can find all the necessary source code, Gerber files, and circuit schematics in the video description.
