The modular hexapod was a research robot built for the Princeton Robotics Club founded by myself and a group of my closest friends. The goal was to study articulated (particularly legged) motion. As an added feature, the robot was designed to have interchangeable appendages in order to be easily repurposed from a simple walking bot, hence the "modular" in the name.

Some technical specs:

• Each appendage has three degrees of freedom (DOF), actuated by three HS-422 servos, for a total of 3 x 6 = 18 servos
• Power source: 7.4V, 1200 mAh LiPo battery
• Acrylic frame/chassis
• Arduino Uno Microcontroller
