1. INTRODUCTION
In today’s technological society, people have grown
accustomed to daily use of several kinds of technology from
personal computers to supercomputers, from personal vehicles
to commercial airplanes, from mobile phones to
communicating through the Internet and everything in
between. As such, the use of robots has also become
increasingly common. Robots can be used to complete
repeated tasks, increase manufacturing production, carry extra
weight and many other common tasks that humans do.
The hexapod robot has, by definition, six legs and is inspired
by insects such as ants and crickets. This gives it the ability to
move flexibly across various terrain, does not require any
balancing mechanisms to stand upright. The main purpose for
building this robot is to study the motions and movements of
an insect. Applications for such arobot include environment
exploration, search and rescue, and as a computer numerical
control machine.
As the long term goal was to navigate the hexapod in debris or
rubble, a special walking gait was created using force sensors
to navigate on rough terrain.
2. LITERATURE SURVEY
Robots inspired by insects and other animals have previously
been designed with physical antennae and tactile sensors to
navigate their environment, as in the work by Brooks
(1989)[10,12], Cowan et al. (2005), Hartmann (2001)[17] and
Lee et al. (2008)[11]; the last three works employed the use of
a single tactile element rather than a pair[3].
Because of their extreme mobility and agile adaptability to
irregular terrain, insects have long been an inspiration for the
designers of mobile and legged robots[1][4]. Early hexapod
robots such as Genghis (Brooks, 1989)[20] and later creations
such as Tarry (Frik et al., 1999)[20] implemented insect-like
mobility based on observations of insect behaviors. The inter-
leg coordination system developed by Holk Cruse (Cruse et
al., 1991, 1998)[20,13] has been widely implemented in
legged hexapods and its basis is in behavioral experiments that
qualitatively analyzed insect walking behaviors[8].
Neurobiological control methods have previously been
demonstrated for simulated hexapods (Ekeberg et al.,
2004[16]; Lewinger et al., 2006[15]) and mechanical
subsystems, such as single- and two-legged test platforms
(Lewinger and Quinn, 2008)[14], but not yet as a complete
and mechanical hexapod[2]. The hexapod described in this
paperis the first physical and autonomous hexapod that uses a
distributed walking control system based on the neurobiology
of insects, stepping in the sagittal plane to angled stepping,
which then induces turning in the robot.
3. MODELLING
Before any modeling, the coordinate systems for all parts of
the robot need to be identified. All coordinate systems will be
Cartesian and called frames[18].
3.1Robot body frame
The origin of the robot coordinate frame will be in the center
of the body, structured with Z-axis pointing up, the X-axis
positioning left and Y-axis pointing forwards.

Fig -1: Location of body frame relative to robot hardware
3.2 Leg frame and notations
The coordinate frames for the robot legs are assigned as
shown in fig1.The assignment of link frames follows the
DenavitHartenberg notation. The robot leg is made of links
and joints as noted on fig3, different links of robot leg are
called Femur, Tibia and Tarsus. Fig 2 shows the 2D render of
leg. The robot leg frame starts with link 0 which is the point
where the leg is attached to the body, link 1 is Femur, link 2 is
the Tibia and link 3 is Tarsus. The joints are located at the
inner end of their respective link frames are attached to outer
end of their respective links, this means that joint 2 rotates
about the Z-axis of frame 1. The Y-axis of links are not shown
in Fig.3 because they are irrelevant here.

3.3 Robot Leg Parameters
The kinematic model here is derived by defining the reference
frames according tothe Denavit-Hartenberg convention. In
Fig.4 a graphical representation of a three joint robot legis
given, with the attached reference frames and corresponding
joint variables. In this figure the body(b) and the zeroth(0)
reference frames are attached to the stationary robot body.
Therefore they canbe both considered as inertial frames. The
axes of the body frame are arranged to be in accord with the
actualrobot-body orientation. The Denavit-Hartenberg link
parameters based on Fig.4 are given inTable 1.
The resulting homogeneous transformation matrices between
the body and the zerothframe and between the sequential link
frames are given in (1). In the formulas the
variablesrepresented by aistand for the length of the ithlink
(namely, the length of the portion of the linkbetween the
origins of i-1st and ithreference frames). The variables
represented by θijmean the sumof the ithand jthjoint angles
(θij=θi+θj). C and S correspond to cosine and sinus
functions,respectively. The values used for these parameters
belong to the Hexapod robot: Ψ=450; a1=1.5 (cm);a2=5.25
(cm); a3=13.25 (cm).
Fig- 4:Three-joint robot leg: Reference frames and joint
variables.
Homogeneous matrices are used in derivation of positional
relationsbetween the successive frames. In (3) the tip point
position with respect to the body frame is given.The rotation
matrices between the frames are given in (2). These rotation
matrices are used invector equations, especially while deriving
the dynamic equations.

In order to derive the dynamic equations, first the inertia
matrices of the links should bedetermined. Since the
kthreference frame is stationary with respect to the kthlink, the
inertia tensorof the kthlink around its center of mass appears to
be a constant matrix with respect to the kthreference frame, as
in (4). The values used in these formulations belong to the
Hexapod robot. The resulting matricesfor each link are in the
form of (5).

The dynamic equations are derived by using the Lagrangian
formulation. The Lagrange function(L) is defined as the
difference between the kinetic (K) and potential (U) energies.

4. STABILITY ANALYSIS OF STANDARD GAITS
Considering the six legged walking, this paper proves that the
wave gait is optimally stable among all periodic and regular
gaits (the definitions are to be given) for all possible values of
duty factor (β), namely in the range of 1/2≤β<1. The nine-
pages of proof for the single basic theorem in this paper
clearly demonstrates how tedious it is to prove the optimal
stability of wave gaits in the universe of periodic and regular
gaits: the authors had to analyze 19 cases for derivation of the
violating conditions, and then 31 cases to check these
conditions for the six-legged case, and 5 cases to check them
for the eight legged case; totally 55 cases are analyzed one by
one[5][6].
Though the proof is very important to show the optimum
stability of wave gaits in the determined ranges, it is
overwhelmed by analysis of various particular cases, rather
than narrowing down from the general to the optimum. The
approach of the paper makes it difficult to get a
comprehensive understanding of the nature of stable walk in
multi-legged systems. In fact, it is possible to come up with a
simpler and more insightful proof of the optimal stability of
wave gaits for six (and four)-legged walking if the universe of
search is limited to periodic, regular, and constant phase
increment gaits, which are defined to be “standard gaits” .
5. INVERSE KINEMATICS
The forward kinematics is a simple equation used to calculate
the position of the end effectors for the leg in the robot frame,
by inserting the values of the angles for every joint. But the
reverse operation is more complex, and it’s is used to find all
the angles of the joints only by knowing the position of the
end effectors.
In general solving the IK equation can be a bit of a challenge.
Some positions cannot be reached at all, as the physical
system is unable to get there, and some end effectors positions
can have more than one solution, and not all of them are
desirable.
It is decided to solve the IK problem for each leg separately,
as this makes it possible to solve it geometrically, by setting
up some constrains .The first constraint for solving the IK
equations and is given by the fact that all of the robots joints
only allow rotation about one axis. The second constraint is
that the Femur, Tibia and the Tarsus joints always rotate on
parallel axes. The third set of constraints arises from the
physical limitations for each joint, giving us some angular
interval for each joint in which the servos can actually rotate
the link. In Fig.5 the limited angles of movement are shown.
Fig-5: Illustration of the possible angles, which the legsjoints
are confined to rotate within.

First the coxa angle can be found easily using Atan2(X,Y)
function, the relation between coxa angle and body is shown
in Fig.6 this shows how coxa angle can be found directly by
knowing the end effectors position.

6. GAIT GENERATION
In this section, the generation of the robot gait will be
described. The robot generally has a group of programmed
gait sequencesused for different purposes. For example a
Tripedal gait is used as the basic movement for the robot
which provide speed and longer traverse length ,and a
Metachronical gait is used for rough terrain traverse which
provide better stability but slower motion[19,21]. Main types
of gaits will be used in the robot:
6.1 Wave Gait “Metachronical Gait”
In this gait mode the robot move one leg at a time, it starts by
lifting one leg and then lowering it down gradually until the
foot touches the ground and then the next leg starts to move,
as mentioned before this gait sequence is rather slow but it
provides maximum stability for the robot, and it enables the
robot to walk on rough terrain. This is illustrated in Fig.7.
Fig-7: Single wave gait
6.2 Ripple Gait “Two Wave Gait”
In this gait, the two legs at a time, since it has two independent
wave gaits. The opposite sides legs are 180 degrees out of
phase and it needs three beats to complete one cycle. Fig.8
shows the Ripple gait
Fig-8:Two wave gait
6.3 Tripedal Gait
This gait is the fast gait for the hexapod; it completes a cycle
in two beats. In this gait the robot lift three legs
simultaneously while leaving three legs on the ground, which
keeps the robot stable. Fig.9 shows Tripedal gait reaction[9].
Fig-9: Tripedal gait
7. JOINT ACTUATORS
The leg joints are actuated by modified Quarter size servo
Motor with Dual Ball Bearing and nylon Gears the Hitec
HS805BB. These motors were chosen for their high
torque.Because of their standard servo dimensions, these
motors can be used with the wooden brackets, which
minimized the number of custom-designed parts that were
required. Each of the three joint actuators per leg directly
drives its associated leg segment. By attaching the leg segment
directly to the servo output horns, the mechanical design of the
joints is simplified. This direct connection also allows the
joints to take advantage of the nominal ±90deg range-
ofmotion (RoM) of the servos, which is approximately the
same RoM as the insect[7].
It is important for the leg control system to know current joint
angles (servo position) and joint loads (current consumption).
As this information is not available from standard servos, the

motors were modified. The servo’s internal PCB, which is
responsible for receiving PWM position commands from a
host and converting those commands into servo output
positions, has been removed, leaving the motor, transmission,
and output potentiometer in the servo case. The two motor
leads and three potentiometer leads are connected to a channel
on the Motor Driver Board and Controller board.
8.SYSTEM DESIGN AND DESCRIPTION
However, the robot’s static stability margin is not
optimumwhen using gaits, for instance, five-leg support
patternspresent better stability. Nevertheless, a hexapod
configurationusing alternating tripods has been chosen just to
try to increasethe machine’s speed, albeit at the cost of slightly
jeopardizingstability. To navigate in the hazardous field, it
will rotate in any direction; heavy legs with powerful
servomotors are chosen over other types as they can withstand
heavy loads. It contains the required subsystems, such as, an
ATMega Microcontroller, batteries, and play station receiver.
Fig-10:Hexapod configuration.
8.1 Controller Board
The Robot control board is versatile and expandable platform
for robotics. The board is compatible to 6-25VDC input
compared to all robot control boards available which accepts
inputs just up to 12VDC.The motor drivers have inbuilt
protection for overheating so it would not see motor drivers
burnt in any case. The high capacity motor drivers give an
edge to the development board for driving big robots without
any problems.
The Quick C utilizes the in-circuit debugging capability built
into theFlash devices. The In-Circuit Serial Programming
(ICSP) protocol, offers costeffective, in-circuit flash
debugging from the graphical user interface of the Quick C
Integrated Development Environment. This enables a designer
to develop and debug source code by setting breakpoints,
single step- ping and watching variables, a CPU status and
peripheral registers. Running at full speed enables testing
hardware and applications in real time.
The play station transmitter sends commands to the robot, the
play station receiver receives the commands and sends them to
robot control board. The microcontroller contains all the
necessarily algorithms such as Direct Servo Control, Forward
Kinematics, Inverse Kinematics. After processing the input
signal, it sends them to the servo driving circuit using TX/RX
serial communication protocol.
The hexapod robot has custom design chassis, with six
identical legs distributed evenly on the body. Each leg
contains three-servo motor. And a total of 18 servo motors are
used. The two servomotors are used vertically for joints 2 and
joint 1 is configured around a typical rotary joint with
horizontally constructed servo motor. With each leg
configuration, we have all three-servo motors confined within
a small volume near the body. The microcontroller reads the
information and controls the movements of the robot.
9.PHYSICAL ASPECTS
The design of hexapod constitutes the kinematic configuration
of a hexapodrobot, with each leg acting as an independent
serialmanipulator with three degrees of freedom. Fig.11
showsthe actual prototype of our robot. The legs are
numberedfrom 1 to 6. Legs 1, 2, and 3 correspond to the legs
on theright side of the robot’s body while the left side legs
arenumbered as 4, 5 and 6.

10.EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
A body of hexapod moves independently of its ground contact
points. To makes a center of gravity shift on a horizontal
plane, forward/backward, and sideways moving functions are
effective. These functions can also produce a smooth body
movement independently from an intermittent leg
traveling.The robot has been designed with three degrees of
freedom in the front, middle and rear legs respectively.From
below figures, it is proved that the system has navigated the
robot to walk according to the planned trajectory.

CONCLUSIONS
The work presented here describes a hexapod robot based on
the physical and neurobiological aspects of the
Chrysolinafastuosabeetles. It has been designed to implement
leg control methods as identified in the insect neurobiology
and gait generation methods based on insect
observations.Control of the leg actuators and execution of the
leg control and gait generation models, is performed by a
controller boards. The programmed speed and flexibility of
these controllers make them ideal for this project and future
research.
This paper describes the design & simulation of the hexapod
robot. The PWM joint controller has been shown to be capable
of moving the joints with the necessary smoothness and
precision. The results in simulation and on a real experimental
hexapod robot show the feasibility and significance of the
proposed controller.Here we have developed a method to
perform terrain negotiation in a dynamic uncertain
environment by using different gait locomotion. The algorithm
we have developed for hexapod robots that may overcome
many of the shortcomings of previous legged robots
developed for hazardous field.

INTRODUCTION In today’s technological society, people have grown accustomed to daily use of several kinds of technology from personal computers to supercomputers, from personal vehicles to commercial airplanes, from mobile phones to communicating through the Internet and everything in between. As such, the use of robots has also become increasingly common. Robots can be used to complete repeated tasks, increase manufacturing production, carry extra weight and many other common tasks that humans do. The hexapod robot has, by definition, six legs and is inspired by insects such as ants and crickets. This gives it the ability to move flexibly across various terrain, does not require any balancing mechanisms to stand upright. The main purpose for building this robot is to study the motions and movements of an insect. Applications for such arobot include environment exploration, search and rescue, and as a computer numerical control machine. As the long term goal was to navigate the hexapod in debris or rubble, a special walking gait was created using force sensors to navigate on rough terrain. 2. LITERATURE SURVEY Robots inspired by insects and other animals have previously been designed with physical antennae and tactile sensors to navigate their environment, as in the work by Brooks (1989)[10,12], Cowan et al. (2005), Hartmann (2001)[17] and Lee et al. (2008)[11]; the last three works employed the use of a single tactile element rather than a pair[3]. Because of their extreme mobility and agile adaptability to irregular terrain, insects have long been an inspiration for the designers of mobile and legged robots[1][4]. Early hexapod robots such as Genghis (Brooks, 1989)[20] and later creations such as Tarry (Frik et al., 1999)[20] implemented insect-like mobility based on observations of insect behaviors. The inter- leg coordination system developed by Holk Cruse (Cruse et al., 1991, 1998)[20,13] has been widely implemented in legged hexapods and its basis is in behavioral experiments that qualitatively analyzed insect walking behaviors[8]. Neurobiological control methods have previously been demonstrated for simulated hexapods (Ekeberg et al., 2004[16]; Lewinger et al., 2006[15]) and mechanical subsystems, such as single- and two-legged test platforms (Lewinger and Quinn, 2008)[14], but not yet as a complete and mechanical hexapod[2]. The hexapod described in this paperis the first physical and autonomous hexapod that uses a distributed walking control system based on the neurobiology of insects, stepping in the sagittal plane to angled stepping, which then induces turning in the robot. 3. MODELLING Before any modeling, the coordinate systems for all parts of the robot need to be identified. All coordinate systems will be Cartesian and called frames[18]. 3.1Robot body frame The origin of the robot coordinate frame will be in the center of the body, structured with Z-axis pointing up, the X-axis positioning left and Y-axis pointing forwards.

The robot leg is made of links and joints as noted on fig3, different links of robot leg are called Femur, Tibia and Tarsus. Fig 2 shows the 2D render of leg. The robot leg frame starts with link 0 which is the point where the leg is attached to the body, link 1 is Femur, link 2 is the Tibia and link 3 is Tarsus. The joints are located at the inner end of their respective link frames are attached to outer end of their respective links, this means that joint 2 rotates about the Z-axis of frame 1. The Y-axis of links are not shown in Fig.3 because they are irrelevant here. Fig- 2: 3D render for one leg Fig-3: Isometric link view for leg links and joint 3.3 Robot Leg Parameters The kinematic model here is derived by defining the reference frames according tothe Denavit-Hartenberg convention. In Fig.4 a graphical representation of a three joint robot legis given, with the attached reference frames and corresponding joint variables. In this figure the body(b) and the zeroth(0) reference frames are attached to the stationary robot body. Therefore they canbe both considered as inertial frames. The axes of the body frame are arranged to be in accord with the actualrobot-body orientation. The Denavit-Hartenberg link parameters based on Fig.4 are given inTable 1. The resulting homogeneous transformation matrices between the body and the zerothframe and between the sequential link frames are given in (1). In the formulas the variablesrepresented by aistand for the length of the ithlink (namely, the length of the portion of the linkbetween the origins of i-1st and ithreference frames). The variables represented by θijmean the sumof the ithand jthjoint angles (θij=θi+θj). C and S correspond to cosine and sinus functions,respectively. The values used for these parameters belong to the Hexapod robot: Ψ=450; a1=1.5 (cm);a2=5.25 (cm); a3=13.25 (cm). Fig- 4:Three-joint robot leg: Reference frames and joint variables. Homogeneous matrices are used in derivation of positional relationsbetween the successive frames. In (3) the tip point position with respect to the body frame is given.The rotation matrices between the frames are given in (2). These rotation matrices are used invector equations, especially while deriving the dynamic equations. Table -1: Denavit-Hartenberg link parameters for the three joint robot leg.

STABILITY ANALYSIS OF STANDARD GAITS Considering the six legged walking, this paper proves that the wave gait is optimally stable among all periodic and regular gaits (the definitions are to be given) for all possible values of duty factor (β), namely in the range of 1/2≤β<1. The nine- pages of proof for the single basic theorem in this paper clearly demonstrates how tedious it is to prove the optimal stability of wave gaits in the universe of periodic and regular gaits: the authors had to analyze 19 cases for derivation of the violating conditions, and then 31 cases to check these conditions for the six-legged case, and 5 cases to check them for the eight legged case; totally 55 cases are analyzed one by one[5][6]. Though the proof is very important to show the optimum stability of wave gaits in the determined ranges, it is overwhelmed by analysis of various particular cases, rather than narrowing down from the general to the optimum. The approach of the paper makes it difficult to get a comprehensive understanding of the nature of stable walk in multi-legged systems. In fact, it is possible to come up with a simpler and more insightful proof of the optimal stability of wave gaits for six (and four)-legged walking if the universe of search is limited to periodic, regular, and constant phase increment gaits, which are defined to be “standard gaits” . 5. INVERSE KINEMATICS The forward kinematics is a simple equation used to calculate the position of the end effectors for the leg in the robot frame, by inserting the values of the angles for every joint. But the reverse operation is more complex, and it’s is used to find all the angles of the joints only by knowing the position of the end effectors. In general solving the IK equation can be a bit of a challenge. Some positions cannot be reached at all, as the physical system is unable to get there, and some end effectors positions can have more than one solution, and not all of them are desirable. It is decided to solve the IK problem for each leg separately, as this makes it possible to solve it geometrically, by setting up some constrains .The first constraint for solving the IK equations and is given by the fact that all of the robots joints only allow rotation about one axis. The second constraint is that the Femur, Tibia and the Tarsus joints always rotate on parallel axes. The third set of constraints arises from the physical limitations for each joint, giving us some angular interval for each joint in which the servos can actually rotate the link. In Fig.5 the limited angles of movement are shown. Fig-5: Illustration of the possible angles, which the legsjoints are confined to rotate within.

The robot generally has a group of programmed gait sequencesused for different purposes. For example a Tripedal gait is used as the basic movement for the robot which provide speed and longer traverse length ,and a Metachronical gait is used for rough terrain traverse which provide better stability but slower motion[19,21]. Main types of gaits will be used in the robot: 6.1 Wave Gait “Metachronical Gait” In this gait mode the robot move one leg at a time, it starts by lifting one leg and then lowering it down gradually until the foot touches the ground and then the next leg starts to move, as mentioned before this gait sequence is rather slow but it provides maximum stability for the robot, and it enables the robot to walk on rough terrain. This is illustrated in Fig.7. Fig-7: Single wave gait 6.2 Ripple Gait “Two Wave Gait” In this gait, the two legs at a time, since it has two independent wave gaits. The opposite sides legs are 180 degrees out of phase and it needs three beats to complete one cycle. Fig.8 shows the Ripple gait Fig-8:Two wave gait 6.3 Tripedal Gait This gait is the fast gait for the hexapod; it completes a cycle in two beats. In this gait the robot lift three legs simultaneously while leaving three legs on the ground, which keeps the robot stable. Fig.9 shows Tripedal gait reaction[9]. Fig-9: Tripedal gait 7. JOINT ACTUATORS The leg joints are actuated by modified Quarter size servo Motor with Dual Ball Bearing and nylon Gears the Hitec HS805BB. These motors were chosen for their high torque.Because of their standard servo dimensions, these motors can be used with the wooden brackets, which minimized the number of custom-designed parts that were required. Each of the three joint actuators per leg directly drives its associated leg segment. By attaching the leg segment directly to the servo output horns, the mechanical design of the joints is simplified. This direct connection also allows the joints to take advantage of the nominal ±90deg range- ofmotion (RoM) of the servos, which is approximately the same RoM as the insect[7]. It is important for the leg control system to know current joint angles (servo position) and joint loads (current consumption). As this information is not available from standard servos, the

The servo’s internal PCB, which is responsible for receiving PWM position commands from a host and converting those commands into servo output positions, has been removed, leaving the motor, transmission, and output potentiometer in the servo case. The two motor leads and three potentiometer leads are connected to a channel on the Motor Driver Board and Controller board. 8.SYSTEM DESIGN AND DESCRIPTION However, the robot’s static stability margin is not optimumwhen using gaits, for instance, five-leg support patternspresent better stability. Nevertheless, a hexapod configurationusing alternating tripods has been chosen just to try to increasethe machine’s speed, albeit at the cost of slightly jeopardizingstability. To navigate in the hazardous field, it will rotate in any direction; heavy legs with powerful servomotors are chosen over other types as they can withstand heavy loads. It contains the required subsystems, such as, an ATMega Microcontroller, batteries, and play station receiver. Fig-10:Hexapod configuration. 8.1 Controller Board The Robot control board is versatile and expandable platform for robotics. The board is compatible to 6-25VDC input compared to all robot control boards available which accepts inputs just up to 12VDC.The motor drivers have inbuilt protection for overheating so it would not see motor drivers burnt in any case. The high capacity motor drivers give an edge to the development board for driving big robots without any problems. The Quick C utilizes the in-circuit debugging capability built into theFlash devices. The In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) protocol, offers costeffective, in-circuit flash debugging from the graphical user interface of the Quick C Integrated Development Environment. This enables a designer to develop and debug source code by setting breakpoints, single step- ping and watching variables, a CPU status and peripheral registers. Running at full speed enables testing hardware and applications in real time. The play station transmitter sends commands to the robot, the play station receiver receives the commands and sends them to robot control board. The microcontroller contains all the necessarily algorithms such as Direct Servo Control, Forward Kinematics, Inverse Kinematics. After processing the input signal, it sends them to the servo driving circuit using TX/RX serial communication protocol. The hexapod robot has custom design chassis, with six identical legs distributed evenly on the body. Each leg contains three-servo motor. And a total of 18 servo motors are used. The two servomotors are used vertically for joints 2 and joint 1 is configured around a typical rotary joint with horizontally constructed servo motor. With each leg configuration, we have all three-servo motors confined within a small volume near the body. The microcontroller reads the information and controls the movements of the robot. 9.PHYSICAL ASPECTS The design of hexapod constitutes the kinematic configuration of a hexapodrobot, with each leg acting as an independent serialmanipulator with three degrees of freedom. Fig.11 showsthe actual prototype of our robot. The legs are numberedfrom 1 to 6. Legs 1, 2, and 3 correspond to the legs on theright side of the robot’s body while the left side legs arenumbered as 4, 5 and 6. Fig- 11: Hexapod robot Table -2: Physical characteristics of Hexapod

To makes a center of gravity shift on a horizontal plane, forward/backward, and sideways moving functions are effective. These functions can also produce a smooth body movement independently from an intermittent leg traveling.The robot has been designed with three degrees of freedom in the front, middle and rear legs respectively.From below figures, it is proved that the system has navigated the robot to walk according to the planned trajectory.

It has been designed to implement leg control methods as identified in the insect neurobiology and gait generation methods based on insect observations.Control of the leg actuators and execution of the leg control and gait generation models, is performed by a controller boards. The programmed speed and flexibility of these controllers make them ideal for this project and future research. This paper describes the design & simulation of the hexapod robot. The PWM joint controller has been shown to be capable of moving the joints with the necessary smoothness and precision. The results in simulation and on a real experimental hexapod robot show the feasibility and significance of the proposed controller.Here we have developed a method to perform terrain negotiation in a dynamic uncertain environment by using different gait locomotion. The algorithm we have developed for hexapod robots that may overcome many of the shortcomings of previous legged robots developed for hazardous field.
