i want to build a maze walking robot(no wheel) with the minimum number of drivers. this thing refer the standard 2motors BEAM walker,but the core is a arduino compatible nano and 2 servos,including 2 feelers & 1 IR module,semi control(autonomous or remote).
it is simple but so much fun.i like play with it more than previous made 9dof tortoise bot. the gait method that i used is some kind of programmed software 'Bicore',very effective.it can turn&reverse&move fast.
I love this kind of robots, i played a lot trying to get the best walk. It depends a lot on the hardware, but i found ~30° speed and 200ms between front and back more effective. One of the use of the feelers can be to step on things; one feeler is pointed at floor, and when it detects a step it raises the step width and increases the time between steps, to climb the obstacle.
