Project Summary

A hexapod robot is a mechanical vehicle that walks on six legs. Since a robot can be statically stable on three or more legs, a hexapod robot has a great deal of flexibility in how it can move. If legs become disabled, the robot may still be able to walk. Furthermore, not all of the robot's legs are needed for stability; other legs are free to reach new foot placements or manipulate a payload.

Many hexapod robots are biologically inspired by Hexapod locomotion. Hexapods may be used to test biological theories about insect locomotion, motor control, and neurobiology.

Project Objectives

• Design And Fabrication
• Remote Modeling
• Locomotion with the payload

Project Implementation Method

• Designing a Hexapod
• Fabrication of designed model
• Remote modeling
• Testing of the model without payload
• Refinements in model
• Testing with payload and again make some refinements
• Final test

Benefits of the Project

Hexapods can traverse uneven grounds, step over obstacles and can choose footholds to maximize stability and traction, unlike wheeled robots that need even flat surfaces. A hexapod can still travel by changing its walking mechanism even if some of its legs malfunctions or gets damaged

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Final Deliverable has a fully functioned Hexapod controlled by a remote controller. The payload will be placed on the hexapod. Hexapod will have two gaits that will enable the motion
