A couple of weeks ago, we had an interesting robot project and now, for all you people who want to veto boredom, here is one more robot project that promoses to keep you engaged and engrossed. This one is called the Single-RCX Biped II robot and like it’s name suggests it can walk just like us. Ofcourse, only after you have toiled long and hard enough to get it up and running. To make a right turn, the robot stands on the right foot and turns the right ankle 15 degrees to the right. Then it takes half a step backward with the left foot. After that, it straightens the right ankle and moves the weight on the right ankle and again turns 15 degrees and the process repeats till you get enough turn. Phew, what a procedure to make a turn. On a philosophical note, imagine how difficult it would have been for nature to create us humans. And for those of you still interested in this robot project, read on.
A 24 tooth worm gearbox, Cams, two motors, Flexi drives, three rotation sensors, and last but not the least, you need the lego technic blocks to make this robot. And to run it, you need a little microcontroller on which you need to burn the code, to get the robot up and moving, all to make the right or left turn. This one is strictly for robot enthusiasts. For more details, get in touch with the guy who actually built this, at the link below. And for me, it is high time i stop dreaming about building a robot of my own.
