Introduction:
The BiPed robot is a Human-O-Bot is designed to get as close to the freedom of movement of the human lower body as possible using 6 servo motors. It has 6 degrees of freedom. The frame is made of acryl-sheets cut in high quality using laser cutter and model servos are used as actuators. The robot is fully autonomous in behavior.
At the heart of the robot is the Arduino development board which intelligently controls the movement of its 6 degrees to replicate the human walking mechanism. Used sensor is an ultrasonic sensor for detecting the obstacle and avoiding basic collisions. A kind of torque feedback of the servos is realized by measuring the driving signal of the servo motor.
Kit features:
•6 servo motor biped robot capable of walking, taking sharp turns
•Arduino uno board enabled
•High quality laser cut humanoid body
•Easy to assemble
•Fast programming using Arduino ide
•Ultrasonic sensor enabled
•Accurate distance measurement
•Obstacle sensing and avoiding

If this is an ad, and I
If this is an ad, and I think it is, it’s the worst ad I’ve seen. There doesn’t appear to be any link or information as to how to obtain one of these things.
Biped sounds really good. It
Biped sounds really good. It has the enhanced features which gonna provide much more than what we have assumed previously for robots.
But I don’t think that this
But I don’t think that this biped will do it. Can you explain what features?
Most walkers use gaits such that they are fully stabile throughout their entire walk cycle. To move like a human would require arms to counterbalance the legs (or maybe a tail). Also the human body has a lot of energy recovery systems when running that we are very efficient users of energy. Basically we bounce and have springs in our system, to put it lightly.
Our robots, on the other hand have big feet so that the center of gravity is almost always over one foot or another. Bipeds are fun, but until I can do one right I’ll stick to wheels.
I am musing on the possible gaits for a tripod, but it will probably have the same problem.
I have a bunch of servos I want to use.
