INSECT INSPIRED HEXAPOD ROBOT FOR TERRAIN NAVIGATION

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to build a sixlegged walking robot that is capable of basicmobility tasks such as walking forward, backward, rotating in place and raising orlowering the body height. The legs will be of a modular design and will have threedegrees of freedom each. This robot will serve as a platform onto which additionalsensory components could be added, or which could be programmed to performincreasingly complex motions. This report discusses the components that make up ourfinal design.In this paper we have selected ahexapod robot; we are focusing &developingmainly on efficient navigation method indifferent terrain using opposite gait of locomotion, which will make it faster and at sametime energy efficient to navigate and negotiate difficult terrain.This paper discuss the Features, development, and implementation of the Hexapod robot
