Hexapod Robot System Design and Implementation

Abstract

Using robots have become more and more common in modern era. Robotics technology is involved in almost every field such as medical, military, engineering and industrial fields. They fulfill the tasks they are designed for with accuracy and efficiency. However, some of these uses require to accomplish tasks that demand moving through rough terrains which is hard to do with conventional moving mechanism. A solution is provided for this problem in this project. The hexapod is a robot that uses six legs to maneuver over almost all terrains, allowing uses that require moving over these terrains to be accomplished. A practical approach is made to make this robot and it was based on robotics researches. By studying robots locomotion and observing the legged robots mechanism the hexapod is built to overcome all types of terrain and adapt to all these types by using multiple walking gaits and make it ready for different tasks.
