Abstract

This prototype of movement balancing hexabot is built mainly for research purpose as nowadays more and more manpower has been replaced by automation. This hexabot is able to balance its body automatically whenever walking on an even or uneven terrain. It comes with sensor to sense the position and gives signals to the microcontroller to process further steps. The idea come with legged robot because of it is having advantages when walking on uneven terrain comparing with wheeled robot. The main objective for the hexabot is to balance its body, so movement speed is not necessary been taken for consideration. The prototype is programmed with two functions, one is walking on flat plane and another is walking on an inclined plan which is about ten to twenty degree inclined. Experiment is done with putting a cup of water on the hexabot body to test its stability where water may not be split out when walking.
