Biped Robot Walks

   
Robots
For years I have been procrastinating about building a robot toy and have finally put something together.

Yesterday, it took it's first walk:

This little biped stands at 16 inches high and has 4 degrees of motion to animate itself. There are some really neat features in the bot including:
  • Onboard controller is a PIC18F2520 running FlashForthV3.1 .
  • Bluetooth link to command/development system computer.
  • State Machine driven walk engine.


This project is going to provide plenty of winter challenges for me. Some of my priorities for implementation are:
  • Design an on-board "buck" switcher to regulate down to 6v from LiPO cells that can be seen on feet.
  • Incorporate exponential acceleration deceleration routines for servo slewing.
  • Incorporate IR receiver routines I've written for the 18Fnnnn to home on a charging station.
Developing.........
