Hexapod (early development)
Brief Project Summary
Hexapod is a six-legged walking robot whose purpose is to further my knowledge of the relationship of electronic components such as motors, microcontrollers, manufactured hardware, and computer programming. The leg design has been iterated through a continuous process of design using SolidWorks CAD, 3D printing each component, assemble, and repeat. This process has worked well as 3D printing is both cost and time efficient allowing for rapid prototyping. With the leg design nearing a desirable state, the body is the next point of interest. This element needs to be designed with the intent to house the electronic components, primarily a power supply, Arduino or Raspberry Pi, and motor controllers.
