摘要

This paper focusses on the design, development, construction and testing of two biologically inspired walking robots: a six-legged hexapod prototype & a refined four-legged quadruped robot. Each robot was constructed and retrofitted with parts to perform locomotion & obstacle avoidance using sensor-based feedback & obstacle avoidance. The Hexapod was focused and emphasized with tripod gait principles & stability, while being equipped and powered by an Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller. A quadruped robot was built for improved mechanical efficiency and wiring efficiently with retaining the same embedded systems & integration of ultrasonic sensor detection logic. Both robots were built under strict cost and resource constraints, with also highlighting the modular software, gait-based mobility, and feedback from the sensor integrated, further reinforced the research used for this project on terrain classification and open sources for robotics.
