Hexor, the Six-Legged Robot
The Six-Legged Robot Hexor
Mechanical Engineering
The six-legged robot is designed to walk on rough terrain, walk up steep slopes, and walk up stairs autonomously. It is about 17" long, about 17" wide and about 10" tall. It uses 18 hobby servos to move its six legs, which each have 3 degrees of freedom. Some of its sensors will include the following: pressure sensors on the bottom of its feet, sonar range finders, IR distance sensors, bump switches, accelerometer, and possibly a video camera. It will have an LCD and a speech simulator. Garren Gossage designed the robot over a three year period, and is currently working with Drew Morgan, Arlo White, and Kelly Seiler.
